Just a neat find

Nooooooooo! You are kidding with the Thompson right? I need a vintage gun like that before seeking out the vintage ammo. I want another photo of that Thompson.

I would like some vintage ammo to go with my vintage 45's.

Nice find perhaps you can shoot them or make them into keepsakes..

Yeah, shoot off a collector's box of corrosive ammo ..... makes perfect sense!

Nothing special about the Thompson.

The 1911, on the other hand...... (hint - 4 digit serial #)

Perhaps all of the ammo hoarders will end up with surplus like this for their grandchildren 70 years into the future. Perhaps they'll find my powder in a time capsule at the same time.

However, very cool find OP. I suppose you wouldn't want to sell it, would you?

Well, I'm not really interested in parting with em; but I have another fellow I'm waiting on to hear an offer for them; so I guess if the price is right!!

Nice find, brass or steel case's?

Should be steel I think. i have a similar 50 round box, and a 20 round box. Not in as clean condition.

Nice find!

You son-of-a...

The first Thompson I held was love at first feel.

They are fun to shoot. 4 or 5 shot bursts hit the target.

Unless it's brass flashed or something of that sort, this stuff looks like brass
