one of my all time favorites....

[brian]

yet rarely used firearms.
this has to be one of if not my favorite piece.
it was my second or third gun bought.
over teh years i have messed with it a good bit and still have one last thing planned for it.....of course that's to SBR it.

here's a recent outting with it......it's always a crowd pleaser.


shot and recorded by some of the lebanon area members.


first pic is one of the first digi pic i took. man that barrel is a mile long...
the second is a current pic.

in the time between them i threw a bunch of other parts on it and chopped a few inches off teh barrel till i get around to finishing the sbr.

this thing is just a good time all teh way around. still have a few bugs to work out...well one less now, i was playing with it tonight. the bolt was locking back one round early, problem solved!

Nice! How's the recoil on that?

[brian]

very light....of course teh gun is not.

[RONNIE77]

Very nice..

The Thompson is definitely on my list...
But I am going to get the 10" SBR..

I plan to win the lottery and pick up the FA version---yeah right.

Nice firearm---which brand is that? How does it run? I have heard that some of the semi tommies have had problems. That is why i fought back the urge to buy the sbr ones that JB Arms was selling a while back. I didn't want to have trouble with a $200 stamp gun.

[brian]

yeah i'm working on it.

[brian]

it's what i call my savage-auto ordnance. at this point it's more savage than a/o......too bad the important parts are still a/o.
for some reason the semi's are hard on extractors. every 6-700 rounds i can count on one failing...good thing they're easy to swap out. they use USGI extractors, and the f/a's are not known to have problems with them.
other than that it's been realible.
straight out of the box they can be problematic, but i've rubbed, tweaked, or replaced every part so it's all good now.

Yeah, it looked like there wasn't much... Now how much does the weapon itself weigh?

Pay attention to the time lapse between "POW" and "CLINK".
Even though the next shot is being fired by the time the bullet gets to the target, there is a very high percentage of hits vs misses. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end.
Pretty impressive for a pistol cartridge fired out of a small rifle from a standing position with open sights at 100 yards by someone who doesn't own the gun.
(That's Fr0sty shooting brian's gun.)

That's a good point. And I had not realized that he did not own the gun...
