The sales ladies are rude and discriminate. Plus you ask them about basic info like FPS they will ignore you. I was also goggles shopping once and was asking the cost of each, from 2 different girls, they both gave me one answer each and both turned to some other new guy who walked in. sorry if any of you know the owner grrrr  |

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for the the warm welcome. Yes I have already checked with the stores that you mentioned. however, they are selling the gangster tommy guns with the drum mag. I am looking for the the M1A1 Thompson the China Made CYMA if there are still any.
Labrador I will be working out 101 or 82nd airborne Normandy just like what you have I saw your picture its very nice.

The long route around is to convert a 1928 to a 1928 a1 these were used by the US airborne. But it might be a lot of work. there are a few articles in the forum. - that wasn't me. you probably saw jnmodeller. I'm Philippine scouts and various bad guys. Welcome! hope to see you soon.

It'l be difficult to find the M1A1 these days. Your best bet might be to convert buy the chicago tommy and mod it to look like the M1928, then buy stick mags for it. Or have an airsoft shop order the cyma or TM M1A1 for you.  |

Or have an airsoft shop order the cyma or TM M1A1 for you. Agree with above. Took me some time to find someone willing to sell theirs. The TM might be a good investment, long term, as you do not have to worry about the pot metal parts failing on you. |

vandal welcome to the allied group  its a good thing we allies are growing tm m1a1 unfortunately i got mine abroad, what you could do is procure a cyma thompson and just convert it to a m1a1, its easier because the cocking mechanism is already at the correct position (located at the side of the gun not on top) so your best bet is just to either fabricate the front yourself or do modification with a machinist , I'm sure there are Philippine wood crafter who could design the front wooden part and metal machinists who can do the these things.
