Shoot me a pm with a number and I’ll send you pics

I have a ima (i believe) sten side folding paratrooper stock. These haven’t been around for a while. Current value?

When you say “girls” does that mean i am looking at getting waxed by the chick with the Swedish K , again?

So i have two spare 1928 brp pattern bolts, besides the original 45 bolt that came in the gun. I am sending the one back to Dan for another brazing attempt. I went over to my machinist friends house and we confirmed we can center the bolt on a lathe using a 4 jaw chuck. So I am going to try...

Here’s my dilemma: I 100% was pursuing tig welding up the rim and machining it back out to 9mm. BUT……. The highly experienced tig welder I chose for the job needed to know what steel he was dealing with. So I emailed BRP and got less than good news. The bolt is made of S7 tool steel and hardened...

Sturm. No bites here and no action on gunbroker

I thought about scalloping the face of the existing lip, tig welding the bushing to it in the scallops and smoothing it out

Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. We talked about a recessed center mill bit, but finding one in .400” has proven difficult.

Agreed. Dan wants me to send it back for another braze, but I am leaning towards either tig buildup and machined out or tig welding another bushing. My concern about the first option is can this bolt be chucked up in a lathe. It’s not round

Dan brazed in a ring. Then cut the ejector and extractor slots. The cuts basically created two half circle pieces. The braze didn’t penetrate and was only on the face edge of the bolt and bushing. I looked at brp 9mm bolts but the 1928 bolt guide assembly is different than all but one style of...

Spent shell casings from this evening. I am still not seeing any signs of bulging

So it ran like a sewing machine until the bolt bushing failed 😞

First two pics are opposing side views of a chambered round. Bottom pic is my caliper set to the .120” of bolt face depth the gun has. I am hoping that it’s not too much unsupported case. I will know in a couple of hours if the full diameter throating feeds better and is enough case support.

Yes, I bought a spare brp 1928 bolt for the bolt face conversion. The gun in 45 runs around 745~770 rpm depending on ammo. Philadelphia Ordnace sells solid T shaped material for adadpting other mags to Thompson. It’s better than trying to cut the formed sheet metal ribs off of thompson mags...

Empty trunnion Trunnion with 45 barrel for reference Trunnion with mildly throated suomi barrel and before extractor cut widened Trunnion with heavily throated suomi barrel, still needs polishing. As of this posting I haven’t fired this iteration

I had to drop my fleming imi uzi to $17.5k to move it.

It’s BRP’s Thompson 1928 configuration built around a stemple tube. It uses a atandard 1928 lower receiver with a modified sear (taller) to reach up inside the stemple tube that’s encased in the sguare aluminum thompson shell. The lower reciever, furniture, and rear sight are the only real...

Today I ramped and polished the barrel from about 4:00 to 7:00. Jams reduced substantially. I am seeing zero signs of case bulging. The only thing I an getting now is rounds that are hitting the face of the chamber around 10:00. I am kinda thinking the rounds are hitting the bottom of the feed...

I sent some pics and measurements to barrelxchange for his opinion on if the throat can be enlarged safely.

Dan Block seems to think that the drum angle needs to be changed to give the round a little more up angle. He’s a Thompson expert, so i tend to listen to him. The drum he sent is angled downward, which he said his gun needed. Looking at the drum it is noticeable the top forward tilt. Although...
