commando mark 45

[rem700]

my dad recently gave me his old volunteer enterprises commando mark 45. i grew up shooting this gun and really am amazed he handed it over so soon.
but to the point i know this is more or less a throw away gun and there is very little info that i can find for it.
can anyone help me out in the info department or mayb even where a fellow could come up with parts for one?
even though it is what it is, it is from my dad and a piece of my childhood so im sure you understand

thanks

Seemed to me they used Grease Gun mags rather than Thompson mags.

Two versions made. One used Thompson mags that had the mag catch hole egged out and the other used Grease Gun mags. I owned the Thompson style. Worked flawlessly.

I had one in the late 70s.The feed ramp broke and was made out of plastic and never could find a new one.Sold that gun for $50.

I also have a Vol.Ent. Commando Mark 45. I have a bad ejector. I can not find it or even the bolt. I was told by a gunsmith that Vol.Ent now build only shotguns and are outside the US. Any idea on parts locations?
