Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Purchased directly from a private collector. We haven't had a parts set like this for years, with the barrel still attached to the receiver nose. This simply is not only the best M1928A1 set we offer, but it is the easily the best on the market today. Included with this one of a kind set are-
- Original Complete Lower Frame Assembly with an unaltered serial number NO.S - 326486
- Original Finned Barrels with Compensator, still attached to the nose of the original receiver. Receiver nose has almost a full magazine well, with the ejector mounting hole still present.
- Original Detachable Walnut Butt Stock Assembly.
- Original Internal Components: M-1928 Bolt Assembly, Actuator, Lock, Op. Spring, Guide, Buffer and Breech Oiler, Ejector, frame latch.
- Original buttstock oiler with felt securing washers.
- Original brass cleaning rod.
- Original Adjustable Lyman Rear Sight.
This parts set is in excellent condition, with original finish intact, and little or no rust to any of the components from decades of storage. The bore of the barrel is practically new, and all wooden components are excellent as well. There is nothing like the deep red brown of aged linseed oiled walnut as used on these WW2 issue Thompsons.
History of the Thompson Sub Machine Gun- The Thompson 1928 SMG is perhaps the most recognizable firearm of World War II, made famous by the Airborne Troops of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. Though heavy by today's standards, the weight helped control the .45 caliber bursts when operated on full automatic.
The Thompson submachine was invented by John T. Thompson in 1919 and became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known informally as: the "Tommy Gun," the "Trench Broom," the "Trench Sweeper," the "Chicago Piano," the "Chicago Typewriter," and the "Chopper." The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals and police alike for its ergonomics, compactness, large .45 ACP cartridges, and high volume of automatic fire and among civilian collectors for its historical significance.
