Tommy Guns

[Chefcook]

In '03 I "found" one in Iraq. God was it the best CQB SMG I have ever used! American Engineering at its best!

Sadly I eventually had to de-mill the gun...
We ran it over with an M-88 (excuse me Tears are welling up in my eyes again)...

Dam shoulda mailed that home in pieces...

The worst of it while running over the Tommy was bad enough.
I had to run over a functional MG-42, and 2 count them 1, 2 cases still with the factory stamps and seal of luftewaffen mausers.

Now I fear I am going to be ill...

In the name of all that is Holy, do not buy a Caravan. I've owned two of the previous incantations.


Never again...





You'll get more mileage out of a Thompson.


Guaranteed.

Too late...
We got a used 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan with 30K for $11K this past weekend (power locks, power doors, and back gate, CD player, AM/FM Radio, Stow-n-Go Seats, hum.. hum...). The wife must have test drove over 50 minvans in the span of 3 weeks and actually brought one 3 minivans from the various dealerships for 1 to 2 days "stays" at home before deciding on the one above.

In any case where can one buy a full auto Thompson anyways? It requires a class 3 dealer and I'm not sure we have any up here in NW Indiana right? I think the closest would be in Indy for me?

Say hello to:

-sway bar bushings
-sway bar end links
-heater fan motor
-heater fan motor resistor
-air bag clock spring
-radio, because condensate from AC drips into it and shorts it out
-electric fuel pump
-replacing front brake components on a regular basis
-variety of electrical gremlins only an electrical engineer can figure out

I would have ended my life!

What's a few hour drive for a full auto?!?

I told you all about the Colt I found on the Internet for nearly $40,000 and I realize that Colt was the High End Mfg. of these. What should I expect to pay for a full Auto Thompson in today's market. It is not your standard military type weapon that is hot right now.
