That may very well be the m1928 package! Very nice. I always liked that beefy flash suppressor on Thompsons like that! Also, the top cocking handle with the sight through cut out is awesome. Nice find!

That's a Mosquitto Molds M1928 reciever/barrel conversion kit, and a CAW m1928 wood kit with a horizontal foregrip. The hole is there because there's a fake button that normally is in that place but appears to have fallen off. On a real M1928 or M1921 thompson you'd push the button in and be able to quickly detatch the stock but this is only a dummy feature on the airsoft ones.
Aintthatgarand, fyi the flash suppresser is officially called the "cutz compensator" and was designed to reduce muzzle climb. If you've ever fired a real one with a cutz compensator on you'll notice it helps a little with reducing muzzle climb compared to an M1A1 Thompson.

Thanks to all for the input. I was suspecting they were MM/CAW conversion parts but wanted confirmation.
It got it for $425 delivered.
Its in the mail right now. From the pictures it may need a bit of tidying up to make it look its best. I also am trying to source one of the newly released CYMA drum mags for AEG Thompsons. Does anyone have one of these? I'd be interested to know how well they fit the MM receiver and how well they feed.

"cutz compensator" I always thought that it looked a lot meaner than the standard barrel tip. Thanks for the info on that. That is an awesome deal for all that. Enjoy!

Wow, all these $900 packages floating around here in the FS area are RIPOFFs Not really...if you look at one costs for everything when it was new, factor in condition, wear, rarity, and demand, $900 is a very reasonable price. I've picked up pieces of militaria for $2 at yardsales that are worth well over $200 on ebay, so does that make everything else a rip off? $425 is indeed a good price, I'd figure it could sell on here for approx $650-700 on here based on its condition. -Tim

that hole in the rear is for a button to take the stock off, sick looking gun

Yes, these guns are getting some hefty prices in the market. I guess I fell bass ackwards into some good luck.
The M1928 is my holy grail. Everything else in my airsoft collecting past has led up to this point.

To correct some incorrect info given here:
It's a "Cutts" (correct spelling) compensator, not a flash suppressor - The idea is to direct some of the muzzle blast upwards to counteract climb, particularly during full-auto shooting.
The button missing from hole on the back has NOTHING to do with the stock, OR taking off the receiver. On the real steel it's part of the main spring buffer assembly, and is used to disassemble that. It has no practical purpose on the airsoft versions. The receiver takedown button is on the underside of the receiver at the back.
The 1928's stock removal latch/button is on the stock itself, not the frame or receiver. As far as I'm aware, ALL airsoft so-called M1928s still use M1A1 frames, so real M1928 stocks won't fit properly as M1A1 frames don't have the track and notch required to fit them. They may be "M1928 shaped", but they must use the M1A1 fixing method.
