very unexpected estate sale finds today

[NOLA_Ken]

I hit estate sales all the time looking for old tools or whatever catches my eye, but today I found something I never would have imagined finding. I asked the lady the price and she said "just take them" Soooo now I have four unissued unused stocks for the M1/M1A1 Thompson submachine gun from WW2.... I looked all over for more parts, but nothing turned up..... I guess it's true you never know what you'll find! Picked up a few other things as well but these are the prize of the day

Wowzers! Still wrapped in Cosmoline, very cool. Restorers will be knocking on your door. Congrats, Sub

wow that's sweet. Would be cool to know the story behind them being there. The Thompson is one of my all-time favorite guns

They just came out with a Thompson BB machine gun. A friend bought one. 30 shots in the clip. Dual CO2 cartridges. Shoots 450 fps. He says it's awesome. Gary
