WH M1928 Thompson with Accessories (Price Reduction)

[BigBoy99]

Thompson Sub-machinegun, Caliber .45 ACP, Serial No. 1815A.  This is one of the recent manufactured (1981) Thompson.  I had to heavily modify it to get it to function.  As it arrived from Numrich, it was a mess.  Quality control was not a word they had even heard.  The internal metal work on the receiver was horrible as milling machine marks were evident everywhere.  The upper and lower receiver had to be beaten apart because the rails were so rough.  I had to file the rails to get them smooth enough so that I could use a stone to finish the job.  The first time I fired the gun, the actuator knob hit me in the forehead.  The knob had been press fitted into the bolt.  Need less to say I have not been a fan of Numrich produced firearms.  What I ended up doing was replacing all of the internal parts of the gun with a military parts kit.  The only parts that remain of the Numrich produced gun are the barrel with compensator, receiver with rear sight, and lower receiver.  When the rebuild was completed, I have not had another problem with it since then.  The left side receiver markings are, "US. Model 1928A No. 1815A Thompson Sub-machinegun Cal.45 M1".  The right side is marked, "Auto-Ordnance Corp.  West Hurley New York USA".  The Cutts compensator is marked with Bullet with Thompson inside of the bullet trademark.  The bore is shiny and the gun has 95% of its original finish.  Ten 20-rd. stick magazine in two military canvas pouches, six 30-rd. stick magazines in two military pouches, one 50th. Original Auto-Ordnance drum magazine in a military canvas pouch dated 1944 and one 100-rd. newly manufactured drum magazine serial No. 1025, with green nylon carrying case come with the gun.  Original Thompson butt stock well oiler, cleaning rod and a bag of small replacement parts of springs, etc. are also included.  Books and paperwork included also.  Asking $21K.
