I wanted one. That's the only justification I can give for buying this. But, with 50 rounds of 230gr. 45 ACP, it should make for one heck of a house clearing gun.:image035:
Model 1927A1/T150D. Came with the hard case, 1-50 round drum and 1-30 round stick magazine. I'm going to have to start lifting weights, though. Empty weight is listed as 13#. I weighed it with a fully loaded 50 round drum magazines and it tips the scales right at 17#. Really makes you appreciate an AR carbine at about 7#. Trigger's terrible, sights are worse and pulling the bolt back is an experience all to itself, but it's a Thompson. Nothing more to say so go ahead and have at me for wasting money on something like this while I drool all over it and try to wipe the smile off my face.
BTW, if anyone is aware of any forums dedicated to these critters, I'd appreciate a link. The only one I've found so far is here.
No, just masked it out -- quickly. That's why some of the edges are a little rough. Next time I have my studio lights and backdrop set up, I'm going to re-shoot all of my firearms on a chroma backdrop, but for a quick shot it was too much trouble to set up.
Can you tell me what item you're talking about? Each time I try to go to the link you posted, it parses back to Please select item and doesn't point to a specific item. If you're talking about this, I've already spied it but 80 bucks for 30.00 worth of parts seems a bit excessive. But, I may break down anyway.:frown:
O.K., that's why I couldn't find it. The extended handle is only for the TM1 (side bolt handle) guns. Mine is a T1 (top bolt handle). The extended bolt handle for the TM1 would totally block the view of the front sight on a T1. Mine uses this bolt handle which has a large U shaped groove through the center of it so that the front sight can still be seen.
Sweet, that will be a good HD weapon, a BG looking down the wrong end will need a change of underwear before trying to see how fast he can depart the area.
I have a friend who has an FFL. I wanted to get the gun from Davidson's because of their lifetime guarantee (Auto-Ordinance only guarantees them for 1 year) so I just had him call Davidson's and tell me what he could sell it to me for while still allowing himself to make some money on the deal. Bud's gun shop lists the last price sold at as $1174.00 but none in stock. Impact Guns lists it at $1307.99 but none in stock. The lowest price local dealer to me would sell it for $1306.76 OTD but that would have also included an 80 mile round trip for me. My friend delivered it to my house for the total of $1216.00. I don't think I could have done any better on the price.
Hey CV to aid in cocking could you find a piece of heavy pvc tube to stick over the cocking lever to aid in cocking it.And you might have to get you and the mrs. name changes to Bonnie and Clyde
No. It would have been kind of handy to have the removable buttstock, but there is $400.00 difference in price for that single option. There was just no way for me to justify that much for so little.
