Ryo Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 I don't believe he can do a FOIA since he is not the owner anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 I would post on the Machinegun Board.. they have a huge Thompson following. Possibly someone could help you out. They also have well known gunsmith that work on a lot of Thompsons. They keep records of what they work on. You might get lucky posting there.. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showforum=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clc3251 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 If you sold them in 2017 wouldn’t you have the information on who you sold them to? Why can’t you start there? They may still have them or may be willing to tell you who they sold them to. It’s not like it was 50 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty57 Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I sold them to a national dealer that will not reveal who they went to. unfortunately................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Post the descriptions and serial numbers here and maybe someone will contact you. That's the only way you'll find them. FOIA will not reveal the names of current or past owners anyhow, so that would be a dead end. Your only hope is that someone comes forward, and perhaps offering a price above market would shake the info loose? A WTB ad would be a good idea if you intend to buy them back? If you're just wondering who got them, I doubt anyone would volunteer that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I understand the desire to get back stuff you sold in the past, but if they read your post and unless they were interested in selling them for a lot more than current value, whoever has them probably won't exactly be overjoyed to let you know who they are. If I had one and wasn't interested in selling it, I wouldn't tell you. No offense, but your desire to find them smacks of desperation and there's not a lot of people out there who want a previous owner of something bugging them about it like a "psycho ex girlfriend".
