    The 'washers' tack welded on the side are to reinforce the change lever. I won't go into the mechanics of it too deeply, but it had to be done in order for the wrapped casings to accept the geometry of the standard change lever via the position of the detent balls that retain it in the A or R position. What crossbar welded on the inside? (thread 5, line 1)

    Look at the gun and smile......... but you can have a blued, polished walnut stocked Thompson gun for £55 using valuable overseas funds and, paid for, up front, in gold. Or a Sten gun for £2:35p. But you can only kill a man so dead
