Last week I mailed my nfa sbr paperwork to the atf and my local cleo. I also want to polish the feed ramp with some 600 grit. Before I shoot any more of my 200 gr pc swc?s I?m going to load up a bunch of the 230 gr lead bullets that I got from midway and see if that makes a difference. But the mags that I thought were working had some hiccups.

Made a huge difference in working the bolt. I took the gun apart the other day and installed the springs and buffer that I had cut out. I would use a powder and charge which cycles the action my load is 5.3 gr of HP38/WW 231 over a 230 gr bullet.įinally got my Mcmaster Carr reduced power springs and buffer material. If your load does not work (seems light to me) I would try a 230 gr lead RN bullet, I like Missouri Bullet Company as they have some good ogive profiles on their 230 gr bullets. Newer Thompson's compensators are pressed on.Ħ. BTW your Cutts compensator is most probably threaded on and a gunsmith may have to remove it and thread the new barrel. Your Thompson has a factory black oxide finish and is tough to match with blueing. Even with extensive lathe work it may not look right. If you simply cut down the 16 inch barrel, the contours of the cut down barrel won't look right. After you have your tax stamp buy a barrel from in black oxide finish (it will match your receiver).

These are much more attractive than the factory wood. replace the M1A1 style butt stock and flat grip stock and vertical foregrip with a set from Dan Block (Deerslayer on.
