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
