A friend of mine is building a Thompson machine gun and where possible he has been tracking down original parts. This will not be a working gun but a rendered one.
He is currently chasing a front action nose piece that has the barrel thread intact. He tried IMA-USA but they only have the one for the "other" model. The one he is building is a Model 1928 A1. He has been told that these nose pieces come up in gun swap meets etc, as they get sold with the barrel in kit form. However, as most were cut up with an oxy torch they are not frequently used.
Has anyone here seen them come up at all or even have one that they wish to part with? He is not really internet savy, so I said I would ask here to see if I can help him out.
