Ho Ho Ho now i have a machine gun

[rhuff]

Even a non-firing replica looks super. They are just one weapon that are in a class all their own. Nobody mistakes that profile for other rifles.....or a least I don't think so. I bet your customer will be well pleased.

Back in the days, on my Diesel Submarine, we had a gun locker full of "28's and M 1 Tommy's. I remember the stocks wobbled on the 28's and the M 1's were mint (like new). Later in 1967 on my first (only) nuke missile Boat, we still had a locker full of M 1 Tommy's. All of my boats had 1911's and a few Garands. IIRC, in the Thompsons we used 20 rd mags. I really loved the M 1, heavy but most comfortable and comforting. Go to youtube and check out USS Wahoo in WW2 and see what a Thompson and B A R could do to " Remember Pearl Harbor".

Below, they offer the Lyman sight for an additional c-note; I just forked over $175 to Sarco for a sight, all by itself. Best price I could find...other sellers start at $250! Read somewhere the 1917A1 sight leaf would fit, but those babies are in the $400 range!

Too bad we can't get these kits in NY state, huh?

Rich, my fingers were typing before my brain was engaged, but what I think I thought I meant was a kit married to a functional receiver, not all the parts added to a dummy. Um, that, in this case would be I!
