Very, very nice. I especially like the serial number ending in "000"

So this is a Full Auto and not an Semi-automatic conversion? Another plus

First of all I would like to thank William for posting the pictures,secondly when I said fully functional I meant it was not a dewat, it is a CA semi auto fireing weapon.Do not want people thinking its something its not sorry for not sateting that at the start.

Nice. Looks like a later Savage that's been refinished at some point. Also, the wood has been sanded and refinished and the front grip is not original, but a later West Hurley addition. This late of a serial number would have had a horizontal grip for sure.

It's always nice to see a survivor. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That is a great Thompson.

[Douglas Jr.]

A stupid question: upon the adoption of the M1 / M1A1 model, did they restart the serial numbers? Or it just followed from the Model 1928 models?

Thats a good question,I would mind knowing the answer myself.If I had to quess I would probaly say they started with new serial numbers.

The gun laws are stacked againts the ordinary gun owner.The goverment really bust your balls,just one hoop after anouther to jump thru.

Serial numbers for the M1 Thompson SMG started at #1, as this model was viewed as a fundementally new firearm with almost no interchangeable parts between the M1 and the Savage-production M1928A1 series. As the M1A1 modification came into production, serial numbers continued apace, making it a bit more difficult to determine where the cutoff is between M1 and M1A1 production. Keep in mind there were two manufacturers of the M1/M1A1 models.
