Knob Creek: Fired full-auto Thompson .45 ACP and bought an M1 Carbine (Pictures!)


It isnt World War II dated but it is still a great looking M1 Carbine, and its one ive wanted in my collection. Here are the pictures, picked it up for $400 with sling and a magazine. Great price.

Overall


A view of the action



Going to shoot it later this week. I actually went to Knob Creek looking for a German K98, and I came out with having fired a full auto .45 ACP Thompson and keeping my own M1 Carbine.

The funny thing is the guy sold it to us a personal sale, my dad didnt have to fill out any papers at all, it was a bit strange.

Oh and about that full auto thompson:


Here is the video, me firing the Thompson .45 ACP

Ill also be posting a video of my dad firing a late World War I Model BAR.

Thats's pretty sweet man. I finally got around to getting enough time to go to the range tomorrow, so I just finished cleaning my M-1 Garand. I never want to use a toothbrush again, there was soo much cosmoline on there :P I'll start another thread with pics if I can get em. Nice carbine btw, looks in very good condition. How was the kick on the Thompson?

The kick suprisingly wasnt all that bad, it would knock your front sight around quite a bit, but it wasnt unweidly.

The MG42 and the M60 were both mounted and you didnt get to pull the trigger, it was a mechanical lever. Screw that.
