Indianapolis Ordnance Tommy gun BFONG kits

[willysmb44]

Has anyone got one of these and mounted it onto a real Tommy gun lower?

If so, any opinions?

This is what I'm talking about.

I'm wanting to know how well they work.

I mounted one to a Doug Richardson M1A1 complete kit which is a "real Tommy gun lower" Mounted directly with no modifications needed. Worked fine except for some inconsistent blank ammo issues. These seem to be not as much of an issue now.

I have it off at a gunsmith right now to remedy one incorrectly milled hole and to attach the sights (Indy Ord won't do that, I asked). Can't wait to fire the thing, even though I haven't done a "shooting blanks" event in many years...

My department had two of the real thing. (Former USMC) What a gas to shoot when you do not have to pay for the ammo. I can see your attraction to it.

Just got mine back from a long trip across the country to a class III gunsmith. I haven't shot it yet but the gunsmith burned up 100 blanks through it and he said he got it tuned well.

I dont shoot much as there are no public ranges around here to shoot stuff, but for the 4th of July I might put a magazine through it.

Couldn't resist putting it with my solid reciever 28A1 display gun...

It'll make a great display at my group's next show.
