F/A...she knows, made me open the safe and she checked because she knows...
It would have been 2002 when mine hit the market.

Where is this new retail shop?!

Just have to decide to either put it in my trust or file as an individual.

The shop is in Greely - just north of I84 at the PA 739 exit.

What did you pay for yours if you dont mind me asking.

I don't own one.

My shop has one for sale for $21k if you're serious about getting a tranfersable one.

Waiting on a trust Form 1 I filed in August so I can have my local guy swap a short barrel on my currently owned ribbed barrel rifle version.

is the local guy familiar with thompsons? very easy to twist the receiver if the proper fixtures are not used, not the easiest to time correctly either.
however if he knows his stuff, i'd like contact info. have one myself, that had the barrel shortened with the cutts comp welded on which does make it look better but..
picked up a savage '28a1 parts kit several moons ago with a barrel and have been dicking around submitting paperwork on it, just due to the hassle of swapping barrels.

Josh at Allegheny Gun Works in Pittsburgh, http://alleghenyarms.com/

I spoke with him in person and he said he had owned a full auto Thompson previously and could handle a barrel swap.

After I bought a West Hurley Thompson subgun I wanted a M1 Thompson but had no dough left for another MG.

So I bought a M1 Thompson and SBRd it. I even made my own receiver holding fixture and barrel clamp wrench to R&R the barrel. I would have bought a factory SBR but at the time they wanted $600 more for the shorty barrel model. I cut and crowned the original barrel and machined a bushing on the end for the front sight ring. I figured that nobody would have bought the new 16" take off barrel. I did a mod on the mag catch so it could use MG mags.
