GMTA! I love the tommygun, and the 100-rd mag... I don't even mind reloading it, when I can lay my hands on one (which hasn't been in over 20 years, blast it!).

One of my local acquaintances purchased a tommy gun of recent manufacture. It has been breaking extractor teeth on a regular basis. He's very frustrated. The current marketing promotion offers the rifle in a violin case.

All my Thompsons are single shot Contender G2 or Encore. Not much to go wrong. Accurate. Reliable. The Encore gets the rifle caliber barrels .223, 204 Ruger, .308 and as an exception 460 S&W. The G2 gets pistol calibers 17M2, 22LR, .357 Mag and an exception with a Win 30-30. All are 15" or less in handgun form factor. I plan to put a nice nutmeg Boyd's thumbhole stock and beaver tail forend on the Encore to accomodate a 20" S&W 500 Magnum fluted stainless steel barrel. I have to buy optics for that one too as it has no adjustable sights included.

My wife enjoys shooting the rim fires in the G2. She tried the Encore .308 with a very loaded down 100 gr Speer "Plinker" over a minimal load of W748. The Encore hammer smacked her upper lip. She's not really anxious for a re-run of that experience.
