the thompson mod for 10 22 legal in canada? I think I heard no once but cant fathom why....its a 10 22
Nice!
I'm looking at doing the same, but with a slightly different stock. I did the "fat front end" thing with an (fake) airsoft suppressor, that comes off quick release, just twist and it pops off, the flash hider has cam lugs on it. I got a buddy to make an adapter to go from 1/2x28 to 14mm ccw so i could thread the hider on my barrel. I'm not happy with it though, Ive ordered an aluminum front end (G36c), its slightly shorter than the original, and CNC made with holes in it and the rails are built in. Heres a pic of mine as it sits now, and a pic of wha tit should resemble when i'm done... ;-)
The stock i wanna get.
mine.
its a work in progress. it will look completely different when im done. alot better IMO.
Contact Dave at hical. He was bringing the Thompson kits in last year, and may still be doing so as a special order.

I bought one from him a couple months back, it was his last one. He may get more if there is interest. Dave is great to deal with
Thanks Devilito...
It's actually a nice handling mid weight rifle. It shoulders nice, feels comfortable but with the short barrel it shoots LOUD.
This sucker has your ears ringing after 2 mags. (I just put in ear plugs)
I wasn't happy with the quality of the stock when I first got it. It took a lot of tweeking and modifications to get it where it is today.
The finished rifle is approx 27" OAL (less the front compensator)
I wonder why something so basic that should be a drop-in would require such modifications. You’d think something made only for a 10/22 would slide in and fit solid right away. Too bad. They way you have it looks really solid but I guess that’s not what people are saying comes stock.
Oh it solid now!
I wasn't happy with the fit and finish out of the box
The paint was chipped/scratched on the butt stock, the screw hole alignment(s) weren't the best and the receiver fit the frame REALLY tight.
After I re-did everything and made some mods, she's good to go.
If no one posts a pic, my 10/22 and 9-22 mags should be here next week, ill take a few pics and post them
No..
It interferes badly with the mag release.
That's why when you buy a marauder kit, it comes with a custom mag release that re-routes through the shell and away from the mag.
