Gil,
An M1 Thompson for a Grand! I could buy several better arms for the same money. What is a .45 ACP Thompson SEMI good for? It is not a Chuck gun, a Deer gun or a house gun. I can get a .243 for chucks for less than a grand. I have a .308 with scope for deer for under a Grand. For a house gun I have a 12 Gauge Mossberg 500A with #4 Buck-I can get TWO for a Grand. The "Live" Thompson was a short range arm for sweeping trenches. The Semi is an "also ran" clone better suited to armchair enthusiasts. Adam

Of course there are less expensive firearms and we all have them. This post is not about what costs less. There are a lot of custom rifles and shotguns that cost a whole lot more. It is about a classic arm that some folks may want to own for whatever reason. Have you looked at the hang tag price of an M1 Garand or an M1 Carbine recently? I guess you will not want to submit a bid on the M1 Thompson. All the best...
