Ammo for Remington1903-A3

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Thanks, TDH! I have never had the opportunity to even pick one up and didn't know they were so robust.

I bought a de-milled Thompson SMG a few years ago and I was shocked it was so heavy, even without ammo. I can hardly imagine how heavy the M1928 would be with a loaded 50 rd drum, or even the 100 rd drums the gangsters and police use in old movies!

Best regards,

On the bright side Harlan, the '28 gets lighter as you fire. I had one with a drum a bit back and didn't use the drum so much as I'd go through too much ammo. Problem with drums in action is the noise you made when moving with a loaded drum. They were big and clumsy, if damaged you lost all that capacity, but the noise would be worst to me. The ammo rattled back and forth inside...

Harlan it's been said that the BAR was Clyde Barrows favorite weapon. His was stolen from an armory and he cut both the barrel and the stock down for better concealment and also so it was easier to use from a moving car. The Thompson is almost 12 pounds on it's own. Vic Morrow who played Sgt Saunders in Combat had a wooden one made because the original was to heavy to carry all day while shooting.

Thanks, TDH! I did a search and found this link to some of their guns. Clyde seemed to want to modify everything.

Bonnie and Clyde were locals here. They were very bad and killed many people. I saw Clyde's little grown over graveyard on the bad side of town. It's all run down, locked and fenced in so you can't get to the graves. Fitting resting place.
