    I have a some pairs and a few sets but I seem to buy alot of variety. One thing I try not to do is duplicate or triplicate the same caliber too often. Although sometimes it's necessary.

    You should duplicate or triplicate the same cal so that you save money when buying ammo... [;)][:D][:o)][:D]

    nib would not be good for me

    It would only be nib untill I got it outside and stuffed a few shells in and tried it out

    wouldn't have a gun that i couldn't shoot unless it was an old black powder or a twist steel shotgun

    If you can own full auto... I might be willing to part with this one...

    What kind of gun to collect?? Give me a few moments to think it over. It's a question I've never had to ask myself. Joe

    I know it... I only shoot about five of them on a regular basis. Otherwise I'd go broke with all those mouths to feed. [:o)]

    Good stuff! I stick with the .45, .22, 9mm, and .357/.38sp... then there's the black powders (whole nother ball game there), the .380, the .17hmr, the .223, .25... and who else knows what's in the safe... so I like your idea about shooting about 5 of them! [:D][:D][:D]

    Steeltoe: givette here. I had a M1 Thompson in Vietnam with 30rd stick magazines. Straight forward loading (bolt either closed or locked back). My question is do you need to have the bolt locked to the rear in order to slide a loaded drum magazine into the '28?? Can you carry a '28 with a loaded drum and the bolt forward on an empty chamber? Something tells me that's impossible without serious risk of an AD. What's your take on this? Thanks, Joe

    It's against my religion to collect guns not to be shot with the exception of a pair of Norinco folders which will be listed in the near future.
    It'l be hard to sell the sidefolder because it's one digit off my Army Serial Number.

    Since I have not ever tried to load any of mine with the bolt forward (and I would have to go into the bedroom, open the safe, and wake the wife up in order to do so at this time) I cannot honestly answer your question. For the best Thompson advice out there, I suggest machinegunbooks.com.... go to their Thompson forum. Many Thompson gurus hang out there. I am NOT a guru, just a fan and colletor of the gun. I hope that my post doesn't get deleted, because I posted a different site, but that's the place that you want to go for Thompson guru info. Mods, please don't delete this. Gunbroker.com rocks!

    With the stick, yes but not with the drum because there's too much spring pressure behind 50 or 100 rounds. You'd have to displace all that ammo, one round in the drum spiral against a spring loaded follower.
    We only had 20 rd mags on recaptured 28A1s and M1A1s in Korea; no 30 rd stick mags or drums. The enemy used mostly stick mags and a rare drum in the PPsh41 at least in '53.

    Sorry, steeltoe. I assumed you had just taken the picture, and still had the gun to see. Thanks, anyway!

    V35: Makes sense. My only X-perience is with the USGI M1 types. Thanks for the insight. Joe
