It fires the popular worldwide 9mm. Luger cartridge. Although missing the receiver all you need is a metal tube and it would work fine again. Magazines would not be hard to come by. I am sure you could modify MP-40 magazines to use for it and maybe even some modern ones. Not only that they were the most prized SMG's of World War II. The Germans would even ditch their MP-40's to get a hand one as well as the Allies. Even I would love to get my hands on one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638166627003194607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-67713308042884051292009-04-15T17:27:00.000-05:002009-04-15T17:27:00.000-05:00Parts kit solution is dangerous ... it would work,...Parts kit solution is dangerous ... it would work, but don't get caught with the receivers.<br /><br />Once you trashcan them, fine.<br /><br />A class III SOT has to get firearms from a licensed source, or from someone who has paid the transfer or making tax.

The receiver could be dropped off with a note to your favorite class-3 dealer as an unneeded replacement part. Last resort is the plasma cutter. Rusting in a creek is a desecration of historical artifacts. I know what the eff is in ATF.<br /><br /> A non-registered rifle could be "logged" by a Class-3 dealer as a salesman sample (non-transferable to mere mortals, but it would still exist intact). MG dealers set me straight if I'm wrong, please. <br /><br />The Thompson is the only one I'd be interested in. "This one's malfunctioning--it tears through a whole stick with one pull of the trigger. Fix please.".<br /><br />Cheers.pdxr13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04663894695994248670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30229957277251756172009-04-14T20:19:00.000-05:002009-04-14T20:19:00.000-05:00Un-registered in '68 they are only worth a lifetim...Un-registered in '68 they are only worth a lifetime in prison.<br /><br />Somebody's father probably brought these home from WWII and after he died someone in the family realized they were looking at large fines and long times and decided to dump them.
