Long story short. I have known a guy, he was actually the first person to get me involved in shooting guns when I moved to WV. Well, 20 some years ago, he bought a West Hurley M1a Thompson. Before he had it transferred to him. He got divorced, and never got around to actually having the gun transferred to him.

We got hit with the flood in 2016. He needed money, the C-3 dealer needed it off of his books. ETC. So, I got finger printed and pictures taken yesterday and my Form 4 gets sent off today.

I paid (way) under current market value. But, the gun is a little finicky. Likes to run on specific ammo. I have been talking to this guy for a LONG time about purchasing this gun. Seriously for the past year, but we could never meet up, played phone tag. I did get to shoot the gun about a month ago.

From what I have read on line, could be as simple as replacing the extractor. I am in the process of finding a bolt. This could be the fix on it. But, either way, for the entry price. Even if I have to have it sent off for repair, or even replace everything besides the receiver. I will still be way ahead.

This makes MG #4 for me. And will be a good companion for my Erb tube Mp40.
