Does anyone in the Puget Sound area have a 1928 Thompson replica with a 50rd drum? I thought I had one lined up for some photos, but the guys circumstances changed and it's not available anymore.

Mmmmm no. You're doing it wrong.

Has to be an M1A1. No if, ands, or buts about it [BD].

Jk - but that's pretty neat though. Hope you'll be able to find one locally.

Lol... It's for some prohibition shots. I've got everything else lined up but this. Hell, if I could at least borrow someone's 50rd drum I could at least manage something with that.

Have you tried the replica prop forum? Might be someone on there that has access to one.. Lots of guys in the movie industry.. Just a thought.

I managed to find someone on a local forum who's going to entrust his to me provided I get him copies of the photos... I am STOKED! Lol...

I'd say you made off with a pretty solid deal. Grats!

... would love to see some pics (even though I despise the M1928 .. and the 50rd drum) [:D]

The 1928 replica is easier to find, and I needed something iconic to gangsters and Prohibition which when you see the shots you'll understand why I wanted the drum magazine.
