Attlaw Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi all, I am looking for a 1928 Commercial Savage (British reimport) or Colt. Perhaps a 1928A1 if it has the earlier features. Looking for something I won't mind shooting (and letting my teenage sons shoot). This will be my first (and probably only) Thompson, although I have done a bit of research. Please let me know if you have anything. Of course, I have been looking on the various boards and gunbroker. Thanks much, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike todd Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 you might catch a decent hammer price on one of 2 examples they have a 21 with a military actuator and a 28 with the U.S. marks punched out. the 28 has the plain folded rear but that's an easy fix. both will make good shooters . BEWARE THE 20% buyers PREMIUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attlaw Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks for the heads up! Would be pretty pricy to replace that actuator, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 LAST ORIGINAL ACTUATOR I FOUND WAS $1500.00 and I bought it ? one snap and its dead so you need to protect the investment if you dare use an original 21 . I try to keep as many orig brls and acts that I can. I have watched 3 fly off and bulged 2 COLT BARRELS also found a crack in one of my early square cut guns in my life , but cant say it was not already there and just came more visable. I wouldn't dare fire one of those again (sigh) NOW, 99% of the time when I shoot one, I change the bolt and act to military but in the rush things happen and I forget.
