Post by: Maverick on June 17, 2007, 12:12:29 PM: The Thompson is nice but it's pretty heavy and complicated. I'd rather have the old M3A1 Greasegun. Much lighter, easier to maintain and fun to shoot.

Post by: Maverick on June 17, 2007, 01:05:06 PM: I've never seen any indication the govt. issue M3's were 9mm. All the ones and literature I saw through the Army were in .45 only.

Correct. The 9mm myth was a rumor started by europeans, mostly eastern block countries to slander the .45 ACP, and to claim that their european round was better.

For quite some time. I have a local collector willing to sell me either one for a pretty good price as long as I can get my parent's O.K. (which will NEVER happen :( )
Title: I wish i had this
Post by: lasersailor184 on June 17, 2007, 09:06:49 PM: Any idea as to the prices?
Title: I wish i had this
Post by: OdinGrunherze on June 17, 2007, 09:31:58 PM: The thompson was only issued in 45acp... The 'Greaser" was issued in 45acp as well... But some conversions to (9mm Para) for the M2/3 were made... They consisted of barrel, bolt, main spring, and magazine... I think the idea was to drop them to resistance fighters in europe... the same way the brits did with the STEN... Don't know if any were ever used....

Post by: Maverick on June 17, 2007, 09:43:38 PM: Serenity, go with the KAR. Ammo is easier to find and it's a better built rifle IMO.

Wrong, wrong and debatable. The market has been flooded with 7.62x54r, while 8mm hasn't ever really flowed heavily. While it is a fine rifle, it's tough to debate the ruggedness and pure simplicity of the Moisin Nagants.

Exactly. Ive got about 100+ 7.62x54r sitting in a desk right next to me. The ammo is there, and the price difference is obvious. $100 for the 'Nagant, $300+ for the Kar.

Post by: lazs2 on June 18, 2007, 08:11:20 AM: 8mm ammo can be had for about the same price as the russian stuff if you look... it can be all had for about $70 for 800 rounds or so but at that price it is all corrosive and worthless your-0-peean primer (non reloadable) nothing wrong with that... burn it up while supplies last.

I have shot both the thompson and the grease gun and liked em both. they are night and day.

The russian ppsh is ok.

I'd rather have a Streetsweeper. :D Ammo is easy to make and can be found just about anywhere.

Must be strong... must refrain on buying that xd-45.

Post by: Charon on June 18, 2007, 09:51:42 AM: As for the Thompson...

A real class 3 full auto would be neat if I could afford it (and didn't live in Ill.), the same for any subgun. However, I personally never had any desire for a semi-auto only version. I think I would be just as happy with a demilled wall hanger.

LMAO who hasnt heard of a street sweeper? Its a 12gauge shotgun/revolver. If I remember right it has a loadout of a dozen rounds.

12 12gauge rounds fired in rapid succession = streetsweeper.

Post by: Wes14 on June 18, 2007, 10:17:01 AM: Thanks:aok

Be careful about which Kar you are purchasing. A real german WW2 K98 in nice condition can run you over 300 dollars. But there are a lot of fakes out there, especially Mitchell's Mausers. They take a turkish or eastern european K98 model and doll it up with german stuff and try to pass it off as a german weapon.

A nice K98 non german model is worth roughly 200 with all the accoutrements.

wonder if there is a mod to bolt one of those to a Honda Civic, would look awesome with spinners, purple leather seats, and an LCD aiming mechanism on the steering wheel

One of the posters of that video said that..:rofl i seriously dont think a Honda Civic could handle that, maybe a Chevy 3500 Silverado,or a Ford F350

That doesn't mean anything. I can write up an authentication sheet stating that my balls have been to the moon. That doesn't mean I have moon rocks.
