Actually, given how long it was taking for ATF Form 4s to process for short barreled rifles this wasn't too bad - only took 6 months. It is an Auto Ordnance Thompson M1 - new manufacture semi. Haven't fired it yet - probably will do so tomorrow. I've got a 120 yard range on our property.

That is freaking cool!
Very well done. That is truly one of my "Just Because" guns.

Agreed. One day I’ll have an SBR’d Thompson. I had a chance to shoot a full auto version once and hate myself for not taking it for spin.Originally Posted by SeriousStudent

Very nice! I look forward to an update once you've shot it. I've shot a semi-auto a bit, they are a blast.

Every once in awhile, in this sea of never-ending pictures of AR pistols, comes something so awesome that I will award internets.

i had the will power to not buy guns. I even bought a gun store and work for a company that manufactures the forging machines for said guns. I need help.

Thought I'd update this a bit. I took the M1SB out on my range to test-fire it two weekends ago - put 150 rounds through it. It's a super fun rifle to shoot, not a tack-driver for accuracy but it was never intended to be. But, once I got used to it I was hitting an 8X12 steel target pretty consistently from 80 yards. I did, however, have a random issue with getting 2 or 3 rounds bursts with each magazine. Clearly, the sear was not working properly.
Fortunately, I live about an hour away from The Tommy Gun Warehouse so I contacted them and they had me bring it in. Their armorer was a super nice guy - spent about 2 hours tweaking the rifle, putting in a new sear and then test-firing it to make sure everything was perfect.
I took it out again last weekend and put another 150 rounds through it - flawless. Even in semi the rate of fire is pretty good - in the second picture you can see 3 casings in the air and the bolt closing on a 4th round and those were the first 3 rounds in the string. Awesome rifle.
