That's one of the new ones Frank, you can tell as there's no finger spring for the center of the pivot plate, it would hold the rocker pivot in place. And of course the 16" barrel.

One of those would be fun enough... I had a 1927 (new model) for a bit waaaay back. I didn't like the long barrel, nor the fires from a closed bolt thing. It's bolt was an M1 bolt modified and had more springs that you can imagine...made it deathly hard to cock. The firing pin would about rupture the primer too. The recoil was almost untenable considering it was just a .45. The whole idea that you had to use a modified mag was repugnant though. The underside of the mag housing wasn't completely machined so you couldn't just use correct mags. The trigger mech was only half machined so you couldn't install standard parts. I found myself wanting the original, even if it was just semi.

They are fun to shoot. Probably the closest you can get to the real thing without spending a small fortune. Just don’t shoot the real McCoy and you will be happy with it.

I have shot one a couple of times a good while back and it's been in the back of mind to get one. Now with time ticking faster I have to get one. This friend of my Fathers had one and let me shoot it when I was young and I told myself one day I will get one, but his was the Real Deal and I remembered when I shot that Tommy it was a Maniac of a Firearm. I still remember how heavy it was and surprised I didn't drop it. I remember it getting away from me and just spraying everywhere. It was Fun as a youngster to shoot this Weapon.

I'm glad I had the chance to own a couple of good ones for a while.

I've had 2 M1A1s for probably 40 yrs. Always wanted a 28 or 28A1, but could never find one that I could afford. With prices what they have been for 15 or 20 yrs I probably never will!
They are fun to shoot, but the high rate of fire of the M1A1 takes a bit of getting used to. A 28A1 would be a lot easier on the trigger finger!
