[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1823692, member: 110896"] That's what I think. I ordered a Thompson T1BSB from him in November 2015. It never came; I canceled the order about eighteen months later. I was told maybe a year ago that the gunsmith never ordered the rifle; he was using the $2450 I paid for it as operating cash for his shop. He told me several times over the months and months I waited that "It's on its way. It'll be here in about a month." [B]It was never even ordered; it was never coming-- [I]ever. [/I][/B]I got my money back after waiting something like 835 days. I sent the money to my brother and he ordered it. He got it in about a year after the first guy at the counter at [I]his[/I] local gun store didn't order it, either. I wanted it because Sargeant Chip Saunders carried an M1928A1 in the 1960s TV series, [I]COMBAT! [/I]I watched it when I was five or six years old, and always liked that weapon. I was finally making enough money to buy one, although I knew it would be semi-automatic. John T. Thompson was so dismayed that 1920s criminals used his guns for nefarious purposes, that Auto-Ordnance never made another machine gun after 1944. The stock slides off with just the push of a button right behind the receiver. I wanted that, even if it was a $290 option-- because Chip Saunders' Thompson had it. If Chip had it, I had to have it, too... The T1BSB is gorgeous. Dam-ned enjoyable to shoot. Transports me back to 1942. Image attached... [/QUOTE]
