I agree with most of what you say but I haven't seen a Mule sell for less than $2000 for over 20 years.
That sounds like acreager pricing, not good ol' boy "in the family" pricing. Which would make the Government price around $10,000.

curious gauntlets ... but the only weapon they might change barrels on then would have been a Bren ... and that barrel had a handle... I wonder if they are standard dispatch riders gauntlets that are a lot worse for wear ... the 48th were always called the "Glamour boys" by the RCR ,,, apparently for good reason!I am assuming he is the spare barrel man on a crew served weapon.
Didn't know Monty had a sense of humour!!!!!![]()
If the right hand is holding the pistol grip, the left hand should do everything.
The M1 and M1A1 Thompsons were simplified for cheaper and more rapid production and used a straight blowback bolt rather than the more complicated bolt lock system of the earlier M1928A1. Who knows why they decided to put the cocking handle on the right side, but that is not surprising given that all other US small arms, except the BAR, had the bolt/cocking handle on the right side.
