Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I always wanted one. It’s a west hurly NY produced model from the 70’s I believe. Haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet but iv been squirreling away ammo for a while. Would have loved to got a full auto.

Nebr State Patrol had 6 Thompsons stuck away - for prison riots, the story went. They even had several drum mags and a TON of old red & green box Rem ammo for them.

SWAT team leader asked if we could take them out for "function test", but the Captain didn't think that was a good idea. With a full drum, they were heavy, I thought. SW

I have always wanted a Tommy gun. I have thought lately of checking into one of the semi-autos. I just don't like the long barrel.

closest ive gotten is a 10/22 conversion kit that turned out real nice , the company that made it is now out of business , and no longer filling orders but it was a quality kit that resulted in a keeper for me ,

in my opinion we should all be able to own an original in all its glory without any paperwork at all ,
i think all of the firearms laws are unconstitutional ,

wow,

old thread

how is that West Hurley running?

I inherited an Auto Ordnance M1A1 and have a pile of spares and magazines,

runs like a top, and easy to control when you flip the happy switch

I still have not shot it. I took my son to the range the other day and he shot my Mosin sniper rifle and my garand sniper rifle.

Mine is a D, I got it from a collector friend that purchased it through the CMP with the original paperwork.
