Schmitty, I believe that you converted your Thompson stock so that it can detach. I would like to do the same to mine, but I have no idea how. I was wonder if you could post some pics of your Thompson stock detachment to help me?  HANK |

Problem is you would havbe to put the battery in a Drum mag and then you could only use the drum mag, or use a sling mounted battery which wouldnt work seeing as the sing has no where to attach to once the stock has been removed.

I thought about that Tommygunner but I not going to worry about it. I just want the stock to detach so I can put it in a small box or something. A violin case would be cool. Thats all I wanted to do with it.

TommyGunner What about a PEQ or a Ready Mag ?  - Or one of those new EoTech battery boxes.......i smell a photoshop coming on The stock comes off with 2 screws, the only thing you might need to do is glue the metal piece which the smaller screw, screws into. Otherwise it comes off and rattles around. |

Sorry for the slow response. The advice you have already recieved is correct. If your Thompson is an M1A1 then it should not have a detachable stock and if you only want to fit it in a case then best to just remove the screws each time as already suggested.
However if you have a M1928 (or older) Thompson and you want to go chicago gangster style (you mentioned the violin case). Then a drum mag and removable stock would be in order.
The stock I made uses the mechanism from the springer thompson moded to fit the wood stock. I added a metal rail to the bottom of the reciever for the stock to slide and lock on to.
But without the battery mod (my battery is in drum mag) I don't think it would be worth all the effort.
