I want to find a thompson with that short barrel. I have yet to find a place that sells it. I know it will be extremely pricey, but I want to see if its out there.

you can't buy the full-auto anymore (not from the maker anyway).  but you can order it and have them(para-ordinance) send it through a dealer in your state.

you can get them with a shorter barrel.  the 28sb is a short-barreled version of the 28 with drum mag and forward pistol grip.  the m1sb is the 30rd mag and the forward riffle-type grip.  

the m1 only takes 30rd mags.  I'm not sure if the 28 can take either or just the drum.

How would I go about getting them to sell the M1 Thompson (30 round stick) to a dealer in my state (HI)? Im am very anxious to get my hands on one hehe. Any info would be much appreciated. If this could take some time, you can email me at xtrmej@gmail.com. Thanks again!

I'd print out the page and any other contact info from that websight, then take it in to a dealer and ask him to order it.  he should be able to handle it(and hopefully not stick you too hard on his fee), and if not point you to a local dealer who could.

also make sure the m1 is what you're looking for.  it's barrel is about the same length as the 28 but looks shorter because of the grip style.  the M1-sb has the shorter barrle with the same stock type.  

just check through the para-ordinence sight and they have all the modles there.

Im gonna need a license and such for an automatic gun like this huh. Thats easy enough.

Post by: capt. apathy on June 24, 2004, 09:32:08 PM
I believe these are semi-autos.  I don't know if they require licenses because of mag capacity in every state or just Cali,  I don't usually buy new guns so I'm not sure what the new laws are, and your states may be completely different.

Hmm its not the auto huh? Well that puts a damper on things.

I didnt even notice the M1 from my other post had a long barrel.  Im getting the short barreled one XJ. The semi will be a whole lot easier to get a hold of and having to register the fact you have a Class 3 weapon kinda sucks.

Post by: capt. apathy on June 24, 2004, 09:39:47 PM
you'll need the special license for that, and a dealer who will handle full auto's.

which island are you on?  if you are on Oahu you could go down to Waikiki, and check with one of those shooting ranges, where the Japanese pay by the hour to shoot full-autos.  

they could probably let you know about the local laws and maybe even know someone who is selling one.  hell they probably have one there you could use and a contact to get more.

the short barreled will likely require a class-2 permit, since it's a short-barreled riffle.

Full auto Thompsons are available on the market, not new ones, but older weapons.

Hawaii does not allow the private ownership of full auto weapons.

Do NOT convert a semi-auto to full auto, it carries big penalties and the ATF will come after you with both feet.  Federal sentence is 10 years.

Definitly not worth it.  As mentioned, there are place you can go to shoot one.  My local range has an occasional "machine gun" night when you can rent and shoot a full auto weapon.  I did it once just to fire a Thompson on full auto.   It was fun.

I just noticed you can buy a 10.5 inch replacement barrel for $175.  A replacement barrel is not a bad idea, you know, just in case:D

Oh yeah, M1 Garnards will be very hard to find and I guess I have to go Gun Show to see if they have any M1 G for sale.  One of members of Heber Springs Gun Club(Arkansas) has one lucky M1 Garnard and will not trade anything for a world, but it was sweet rifle. :D

Buy a Thompson bb gun and set up a target in your house.  That would be fun to play with and pass the time.

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a copy of the Shotgun News. There is usually an ad on the front page for M1 Garands through the goverment. I think you can get one in really good shape for around $500. You can also find just about any other military rifle in there as well. Those Romanian AK-47s for less than $300 are a good deal. Nice little rifle. The BAR is going to cost you out the bellybutton though. Its around $3000 for a semi-auto.

My brother had a Colt 45 issued by the Navy.  He was a Lt. Commander.

He said he didn't like it because it pinched his hand.  He sold it for $200.:)

Is that civilian marksmanship program still alive? I fired a qualification with the M1 about 15 years ago at my local gun club. They had info on ordering them from the Fed arsenals for about $120, but at the time I didn't feel like waiting 8-10 months to receive it. Man, have I ever been kicking myself in the pants since then.
