Argh! Stop Me

Post by rebelgtp »

Alright I just made a big mistake...I went to my local shop and what should I find in the case? A Smith and Wesson 1917 .45...Must resist urge to take my Tommy down to sell and put part of the cash to the Smith.

Its in very good shape, full barrel not cut down, has the lanyard ring. It was a Brazilian contract and they wanted $640.

Auto-Ord semi-auto Thompson? Keep it.

Papered Class III Thompson? Are you #$!%ing kidding? KEEP IT!

Now, if "Tommy" referred to a kid or something, then I'd say consider it. :)

$640 for a Brazillian contract 1917 is a bit steep. I just got mine for half that on GunBroker.

KEEP TOMMY!!!

Yeah I think I'm going to keep Tommy in this case, the 1917 is a bit on the pricey side for what it is. I'm sure I will find another for a better price at some point.

That's a little steep for a Brazillian model. :shock: keep the Tommy and hold out for something cheaper. :mrgreen:
