No one else in the country has laid claim to having the gun." AND WHAT FOOL, PRAYTELL, IN SUPREMELY ANTI-GUN ENGLAND, WOULD COP TO HAVING POSSESSION OF A THOMPSON SMG, HMMMMM?

compshootfl 40 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think the rear sight is the same as in the original....just sayin'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmilinEd 364 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I don't think the rear sight is the same as in the original....just sayin'. Most ppl 95% wouldn't know that was Churchill anyway, If my friends saw that poster hanging at my house, they probably #1 Wouldn't know and or ask who it was #2 Assume Dude with Thompson was Pretty Boy Floyd. #3 Definitely would have no idea what the rear sight on a Thompson looked like including myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE LATER M1A1'S, WITH THE HORIZONTAL FOREND HAD A MUCH CHEAPER AND SIMPLER REAR SIGHT. JESS1344 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
