  1. Sent you a PM regarding the Reising and Ruger. please let me know if the FN sale falls through.
  2. You're the man - thank you so much! Feel free to call me anytime at 512-470-7877 too.
  3. Does anyone have any leads on an HK Sear and/or Swedish K? Funny how quick my "want" list can change! Thank all of you guys so much for your input. I've been researching all sorts of things and trying my best to familiarize myself more with SMG/MGs.
  4. Haha - I love this forum already! Most of them are more modern guns - KAC, Arsenal, Colt Python & King Cobra (newer versions), and more. I'll post a list of all of the items remaining. I've already sold about 15 guns in the past 3 days. Trying to get rid of the guns that are more "production" or still being made and keep the Belgium Brownings and WWI & WWII guns. I don't get to shoot much, so when I do, I want to shoot semi-full auto!
  5. This is extremely helpful! I bought an M16 and Mac 10/45 and they should be here by November-ish, hopefully. I have two safes full of guns and only shoot my shotguns for the most part, so I'm liquidating a lot of the guns I don't shoot and selling them to buy some SMG/MGs. This thread has opened my eyes to so many new guns and helped me immensely in better understanding the numerous different types of SMG/MGs. I'm really like the Swedish K & HK sear which seems optimal since it can host so many different calibers.
  6. Not at all! You guys have helped me more than I could have imagined and opened the door to so many more options. I'm really liking the Swedish K and HK sear and have been reading about those a bit. I cannot thank you guys enough for all of your input!
  7. This is sooooo helpful! I've printed this out to put in my briefcase so I can research these guns. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out!
  8. I keep hearing about the HK sears - I'm going to have to look into these.
  9. Fellas - I cannot thank you guys enough for your input. This has been extremely helpful and improved my train of thought and gave me plenty to study. After reading the comments, I feel like I have a much better understanding of what I need to focus on and whats less important. Being a newb, I cannot thank you all enough for your guidance, not only with the Thompson/MP40, but from the overall understanding of MGs/SMGs. I came from the 1911 world and definitely appreciate nice quality. I have no problem paying up and getting the quality that comes with it. I've heard a lot of you talk about the HK Sears which I plan on doing a lot of research on. Thank you guys so much for your time & help. I sincerely appreciate how helpful you guys have been and how welcoming everyone on this forum is. Sam
  10. Wow - this is incredibly helpful. I'm not in any rush so I want to do this all correctly. I appreciate you guys explaining the differences in Thompsons and the pros/cons of the MP40/Thompson. I know information is out there but it seems like every site is more of an opinion, which are all conflicting and personal preference. I came from the 1911 world and am getting rid of most of my semi autos and 1911's and bolt actions. I never shoot them and only use my shotguns to hunt with. Also, even higher end 1911's don't really hold their value unless they have historical significance, so the MG's really bring something unique to the table for me. Being a newb, what are some other SMGs you would recommend looking at that have historical significance and have very good reputations?
  11. This is very helpful a do appreciate the detailed response. I definitely plan on shooting it. I’ve got two safes full of guns I don’t shoot so I’m selling those and converting the proceeds to MGs. I plan to shoot the hell out of the MGs. I should have clarified this better so my apologies. When I say investment, I mean more 10-20 years down the road. I wish I had bought 10 years ago, but I didn’t. I’m not looking to flip the guns or make a quick buck so it sounds like they are comparable regarding appreciation. I just want to buy guns that I can get my money out of should I ever need to (hopefully not). That’s great to know about the after market parts, too. That makes a big difference to me. I sincerely appreciate y’all’s help. Being a newb to MGs, it’s always nice to get experienced opinions.
  12. Thank you guys for the responses. the two guns in looking at are for sale on the forum - the first is the MP-40 w/ Wilson tubes in “Nice condition” and the second is the W.H. Thompson 1928 Mint with case and A.O. Drum. I’ve always had an itch for both guns because of their history and the Thompson has always stood out to me but the MP40 is also such a great gun. unfortunately, I’m not able to look, hold, shoot etc either gun so I truly value what you guys say on this forum. I love the added history of the Thompson with the old school gangsters and that is the gun I’m beginning to lean towards. I’d imagine and based on what I can find on the internet, that they are both going to hold their value similarly and you can’t seem to go wrong with either from an investment standpoint. does anyone have any experience shooting both guns? Any feedback is much appreciated as I’m trying to learn as much as I can about machine guns - it’s a whole new world from where I can from and I love it. thank you all in advance for your time and help. Sammie
  13. Hey everyone - let me preface by saying that I'm a newb so if this has been asked or these are dumb questions, please bear with me. I am not asking "which would you get" or "which is a better gun" I have been looking at an MP40 and a Thompson SMG. I'm familiar with the ergonomics, weight, etc, with each gun but my question is: from an investment standpoint, does the MP40 or Thompson appreciate faster, or at least hold its value better? Or are they pretty equivalent? I sincerely appreciate everyones help and I'm honored to be a part of this forum. Regards, Sam
