Haven't seen those since my '28 Thompson left.

[Steve762]

RCS is correct on all. Part of a de-milled 1928 Thompson parts kit that came in from the old Soviet Union approx 20 years ago.

[CINDERS]

Excellent found out what that oiler was as I have one still caked in cosmo on my shelf!

[RCS]

Here is a Savage Model 1928A1 bolt that I found years ago, the owner pulled it from his weapon to exchange for an un-modified bolt.


Anyone know what this modification was for ?Attachment 106844Attachment 106845

[browningautorifle]

The safety notch at the back...with an M1 you could engage the safety so the bolt wouldn't move when forward but the 1928/A1s had no such provision. The notch at the back was added so you could keep the bolt forward. Otherwise the actuator could get caught and pulled back and perhaps accidentally fire.

[RCS]

Your right Jim, often called the paratroop notch

[browningautorifle]

the paratroop notch

That would make sense as they had lots of things to catch the actuator on...and cause a single one to tap off...
