Ask Jugglez (AirsoftParts.ca), he deals directly with King Arms

[Panzerfaust]

Ehobby only has the typewriter style ones in stock

[Boyso]

Go directly with Jugglez. You'll probably pay less and it's going to be in country and trackable.

We have no name Thompson wood kits in stock, not as nice as the King Arms, but deals available for ASC guys

Just got my KA M1A1 this morning. Mmmmmmm...Thompson. Is there some one in KW who can chronie this thing for me? The box says 400fps with .2's but if it's hot, I want to bring it under 400 before I hit a field. I'll come to you.
While I'm asking, are there any other issues(weaknesses) that should be addressed as far as internals go? Weak spring guide?

[Boyso]

"Usually", from what I've seen, these go at around 380 fps out of the box. But after the break-in, the fps goes up slightly. Might be handy to have an extra spring, just in case. Or to simply downgrade it so that you can play CQB.

....mmmm that'd be fun. Then:

The king arms wood conversion kit is now installed on my cybergun m1a1. It required a little work with the dremel, especially the hand grip, but it fits and is a big improvement over the plastic.

It looks great Sam... but it's really too bad that they didn't get it right.... the charging handle should be on top of the reciever for the 1928's. BUt still looks nice. How's it shooting?

And the upper should be more "fat" and the stock different, with the quick-release button, but still looks great

The only correct version of Thompson ever made was from Garage Gun Works in Japan, the model kit was sold in Japan, HK back in 89-91 for about $1800 CDN

[Boyso]

Wow! Yeah that's pricey :P

Or the good ol' custom build (not mine) : http://ww2aa.proboards.com/index.cgi...ad=7958&page=1

Mosquito Molds/CAW kit is closeish... just lacks the fire selectors. I managed to snag a receiver/barrel when they re-released a year ago. Real purdy gun.
