Posted elsewhere too but I just had to show it to a larger audience.......
I have wanted one of these for as long as I can remember....After much research, hemming and hawing and soul searching I decided to get myself something for yet another all too insignificant birthday.
I just got through learning the inner workings of the 1927-A1 by field stripping it to give it the initial requisite cleaning. The Tommy gun is pretty simple to strip and clean.....but man, those recoil springs really make it a bear to cock....there are replacement springs out there but I want to make sure it will function in its factory form before I change anything.....if I change anything.
The furniture is beautiful American Walnut and the metalwork is excellent. The rifle is heavy, the trigger is heavy and there is little practicality to it....but it sure is cool to look at!
Now before you go and tell me all your bad experiences with this rifle let me make this statement.....I'm fully aware of the common issues that people have with the Kahr-Auto Ordnance 1927-A1. I think I've done enough research to work through most of the problems I might run into....barring any part breakages that is. From magazine issues to functional problems I'm confident that I can work through them....Hopefully everything runs fine from the get-go but I'm fully prepared to do whatever it takes to have a fully functional firearm.....and spend a boat load of money on ammo to feed this thing!
P.S. The furniture is only stained....what can I do to protect the finish? I wouldn't mind adding a little gloss to it.....
