Thompson m1928a1 for sale4/7/2024 ![]() While a bare MG receiver fits the legal definition of a machinegun, thre's another definition at work here, and that's the bit about being "readily restorable." 26USC CH53 5845( defines a machinegun as ".any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger." Even if the feedramp isn't fully milled, nor the buffer pilot hole drilled, by miiling out the channel for the bolt, you've put the receiver one more step closer to being completed, in effect, making more easily to finish as a machinegun. I'm also willing to bet that at least part of the feedramp is done on this one as well. ![]() ![]() The photos don't show enough of the right-hand side to see it, but I'm betting that it's there. Feedramps? About half that I've seen have the feedramp milled, half don't. There isn't much to a TSMG receiver to begin with, and with all of the dummy TSMG receivers I've seen, most already had the drill-and-mill for the ejector and the barrel done. With all due respect, milling out the inside of a dummy receiver so it will fit a bolt will put you far into legal harm's way. Hogging out a cavity in the receiver to fit a full bolt is a long way from fabing an operational receiver. I'm not sure I would agree with this statement.
