Don't know if this has been posted here yet but there is an estate sale comming up with over 100 hand guns and 150 rifles (including Class III 1927 Thompson A1)

They have a list of the guns for sale here (http://www.troutauctions.com/11nov03.htm) at the auction web site.

Thank's for the info JeepDriver.

What an excellent way to celebrate Veteran's Day. Since I have the day off I think I'll take a ride up there and see what the M1 carbines and older revolvers are going for.

If you have an FFL license you are required to bring your license with you to the auction. Dealers will be charged $5.00 per firearm to complete paperwork. Curio & Relic licenses do not apply.

Huh? My C&R isnt usable?

from the auction listing
Requiring Special Paperwork & Subject To Certain Restrictions
Thompson sub machine gun 1927 A1

Hmmmmmm,

The Thompson 1927 and 1927A1 are and have always been semi-auto.
The 1921, 1928 and 1921/28 overstamps are the selective fire Thompsons.
The original 1927 model should be classified as an AOW since it has the standard short Thompson barrel and detachable stock.

Totally cool! :cool:

BluesBear:
MD's "assault weapons" law requires extra paperwork on assault rifles (the same paperwork and waiting period as pistols have), while "normal" rifles and shotguns can be sold over the counter like in any other state. Almost anything with a detachable magazine and a slight history of military/police use is on the list of stuff that needs the extra paperwork (HBar AR15s are exempt, due to sporting usage).

Sounds like time for a road trip!

Kharn,
I wasn't saying anything about MD laws.

But the 1927 Thompson is a carbine and was even referred to as a carbine in the original advertisments. It is NOT and has never been a "sub machine gun". Since it is not a sub-gun the federal law lists it as an "Any Other Weapon" and as such the Federal Transfer Tax on it is only $5 instead of $200.

Please remember I am not referring to the currently produced 1927A1 Thompson, but the original short barreled, detachable stock, Thompson Model 1927 Carbine.

In my state of Washington one can own the 1927 as an AOW even though we aren't allowed to own fully automatic or selective fire weapons.

:)

If I had known AOW were lawful in Washington I would not have sold my original 1927 before I moved away from Kentucky.
