This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

Alright Misanthropist ya got me convinced I need to take my nephew up on his offer & get down to his ranch in Refugio cty. to bond w/ his Thompson.
He has a FA Colt that's also stamped NY DOC as it came out of Attica state prison a long time ago, where's that young man's ph. number?

Hell, yeah, get your Dillinger on. Thompsons and BARs are my favorite full auto weapons. I don't care that they're too heavy for what they are. You'll mow your enemies down on style points alone.

A full auto Thompson is one of the sub guns I've always wanted to shoot.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
I wonder how many Thompsons are still in police armories. Forsyth County, NC recently traded two, I think, for a bunch of rifles. They were bought for the Sheriff's Office in 1927 by the R.J Reynolds Tobacco Company.
I have been told by a credible source that Virginia State Police has a huge stock of Thompson parts. Bet they still have a few operational guns still there.
Mine belonged to a VA LE Agency before it was sold for "better" equipment. I tried talking to the captain at the agency, but unfortunately it was his predecessor who had all the answers. He also hinted that VASP had a stash of parts....... anyone want to put in a good word? Ya know, in the event they feel like liquidating some to an honest, upstanding citizen......?
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
See the look on his face after the burst from the hip? You really need to experience that.

Turning money into noise! Must have been a blast.

Our sheriff dept got rid of theirs. Like so many other departments around the country saving an incredible piece of history was less important than making a couple bucks in a trade.
