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

[Biohazzard56]

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?

[Biohazzard56]

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

Hahaha... he said knob.

[ViperGTS]

Badass. I allways took a liking to carbines.

WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU SHOOT THE BIG ASS GUNS BEHIND YOU!?

screw the tompson, look at them!

[Biohazzard56]

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