Looked at the Thompson look alikes.....would like to have one, but at $1500, that is a bit pricey for a gun to shoot at tin cans and targets with....on top of the fact that the ones I looked at only took stick magazines. With a daughter heading to college this fall, and a new proposed tax structure here in MI, I can't afford the luxury right now.

My M-14 and flintlock trade musket tend to do the same thing.........

The M1 Thompson Gil mentioned has a hang tag of $999.00. That is well below the M.S.R.P., but still a lot of money. Take care...

The ones I saw at our local discount chain were $1500....the store is giving $50 off (via coupon), but that's about the extent of the savings. Like I said, gotta come down a whole lot more.......22 is cheaper for shooting targets (not to mention not one box of .45 ACP ammo can be found around here anymore!)
