For a decade and a half I could not pick up a gun magazine without seeing a little 1.5 or 2 inch ad for a pistol caliber carbine that sort of looked like a 16 inch barreled Thompson Sub Machine Gun....but wasn't.
There were several different models and they where available in .45ACP and 9x19mm.
Where are they?
I handled and shot a grand total of one and have seen another bolted to the wall of a local resturaunt. There has to have been thousands of the things just to pay for the advertising.
Now I have to say I was underwhelemed by my experience with the one......but I got to use it after a fair amount of real SMG experience and a good bit of that with a real TSMG, so I was biased.
Anyone out there got one they want to share with us? Want to share your experiences with them?
There was another outfit in the early 1960s that had a PC carbine based on a round receiver that had hardware to make it Thompson looking as well.....Owen? I think. I believe ATF had some issue with that one and it doubling or worse if the safety was not set correctly.
In the 1970s there were a few MAC-10 semi auto carbines. Any of those still floating about?
There was something I believed called the Eagle that resembled a Lancaster or Sterling-Patchet with a wood stock in the 1980's I believe.
Of course there was the JG 68 and the Linda that looked vaugly Uzi-ish or Vz27-ish..
I figure there is little point mentioning the HK94 or Uzi carbine as one occasionally sees one of them, as some survived FOPA86 intact.
Just interested in those old PC carbines.
