Hello
just wanted to say that your review was very informative and helpful. Ive been waiting for an "affordable" thompson and anxiously awaited for this model. It cost me here in Canada $400, which is about $150 cheaper than the TM. ( I know we pay way too much for our guns here )
Anyway Im very pleased with the gun so far. Im even pleased with the OD sling it came with at the moment till I get a ww2 repro. My thompson came with the trades, which are acceptable. Though 2 funny things about them aside from that they are just painted on, are the cal size printed on the one side shows
