After waiting about two months it finally got here.







And yes, it is full auto.



Now on to the second step of getting it registered to me. Process on NFA items is that they have to transfer from owner to dealer and then to next owner if they are transferred out of state. So now it will take about four months for the transfer to me. My buddy who is part owner of the shop will take it to the range so I can fire it. He will be the registered owner until my transfer.

An iconic gun.

I will give range report soon.

Woot!

Waht is the covered port in the buttstock? For a cleaning kit?
It looks to be in excellent shape.
You are gonna need to start reloading .45 ammo. HAH.

Is that curved metal that goes above and around the trigger the Drum Mag release?

Doubt you'll write the next great novel with it, but it is a nice typewriter. Great condition, too. Enjoy!

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

OG, that is just lovely.

How long to empty a drum on full auto? How available are spare drums?

How do the drums compare with the straight mags seen on the military Thompsons in terms of reliability?

Droooool
