I did a search in here on Thompsons and found alot of useful information.
The information on getting your tax stamp is very nice.
Back to a semi-auto pistol caliber rifle. I really don't need full auto but I do need a pistol cal. rifle. Double and triple taps work pretty good for me in a rifle, .223 Ar.
So I add 4 to 4.5 lbs. to my rifle and go to .45 acp. I'm thinking I'll be in business. For the games I like to play.
I'm looking at the Kahrs, Auto Ordnance M1A1's . The only real problems I've read about, are the mags falling out, with a GI mag catch replacement seemingly fixing this problem.
Also I've read about replacing most of the internals with GI parts.
Do the Kahr reproductions stay with original mil specs.? Or was someone talking about a NFA Thompson?
I'm thinking even if you could swap out all the parts, you couldn't swap the bolt, right? Isn't a full auto bolt a machine gun? Or is that just the M-16 bolt?
Then again, thinking about, if I could spring 8 grand, I most likely would "need" a F/A Thompson.
