Default Rare- original numbers matching 1928 thompson subgun

i can almost guarantee NOBODY on this website has or will EVER see one of these not in a museum, and certainly not in firing condition, besides maybe nonnie. vid is a couple years old, thompson is owned by my uncle. the value of this gun is pretty much beyond numbers. unless you are willing to part with about 30-40k from your pocket, then it could be yours. gun is legally owned all nfa rules and paperwork have been filled out and are on hand. enjoy

(disclaimer: yes, i am a total idiot, and did not wear earplugs, and havent started wearing them while shooting until recently. as a result, i have very bad premature hearing loss. take it from me, wear your damn hearing protection!)

I remember reading a few years ago some clown renovating in Chigago found one behind a wall he was tearing down and called the cops. They reported estimated value something like what you said....cops confiscated it...wonder where it ended up

Only an idiot would call the cops if you found an old gun in a wall of an old building. Geeze.

I almost got to buy a registered one from a police department. It conveniently disappeared. At least that is what they told me. HaHa They gave me a price of 5 to 7 thousand. I was so happy......... and then so sad.
