while not specifically a milsurp I still like it!

and it technically is based on a well loved military firearm...

I would love to have a real, WWII issued Thompson M1 but until I get an extra $25K that I can spend for a gun I'll have to settle for this: AutoOrd (Kahr) M1927 semi-auto carbine...

I have had, in my safe, for 5 years a Vector Arms V93 .223 that never seemed to work flawlessly; disassembly and reassembly was always a pain - lining up the rollers, bolt, etc. was always difficult - as if the rails were too tight. As usual, I got a great deal on the Vector to begin with; $900 out the door; so I did ok today. Here are a few photos; I have to say it is one heavy SOB; 13# empty. Pounce wanted his photo posted too...

Neat, cwo4uscgret! (And it's in the 'Milsurp family' as far as I'm concerned!)

I bought a de-milled Thompson a few years ago because I didn't have the $25K just laying around like some of these guys either.

I had no idea how heavy these things were to lug around, and I've never lifted one with even a full 30 round mag, much less a 50!
(They look so light in the old war movies!)

They aren't light but they aren't heavy either. You can go through a 30 round mag in less than 5 seconds. With the weight they also don't climb at the muzzle as I always heard as a kid. It's a dream to shoot and I wish I could afford one. Sigh.
