	:This is not an M1A1 Thompson. I think that is what it is ~~suppossed~~ to be, but the forestock is wrong (it is rounded at the front, possibly damage), the front sight post is too high, the rear sight is just wrong, the bolt handle is that from an M1921/M1928 and not that from an M1 series Thompson. Additionally, the standard M1A1 could not accept drum magazines. I know that there were many different cost cutting measures taken during the production run of the Thompson, and that as a result there were a number of very different but not differently designated Thompsons that were produced, but I do not think that this is the case here. I think that this is a parts gun, and a very bad one at that. It does look basically like a Thompson, but not at all like one if it is examined. Actually, I just looked at it again, it looks like a resin gun, and not a firearm at all.[[User:SAWGunner89\|SAWGunner89]] 18:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)		:This is not an M1A1 Thompson.
