I am not much for newly manufactured guns but this may end up being a exception that I would like to acquire.
Godamit......should I go to epps in the am...to pick one up!!!
You can have the two barrels - but if the short one is used the gun becomes restricted. Then it is pointless to have the long barrel.
I would guess you could have a dummy barrel for display purposes ?
Grizz
Someone should run off some plastic display barrels...just a hole at the muzzle and solid through the rest.
Found a modern online PDF manual for the TNW. Mine is still waiting at the post office, so I don't know if one is included.

Some major changes to the one I just bought from the manual
The bolt is one piece ...not 2 piece
There is only one (small) return spring...not the 2 shown in the manual
Anyone know why the receiver end cap has all the fancy holes drilled in it???
Regardless...nice,keel historic piece I can shoots anywhere
but there were some special design features to reduce otherwise excessive cyclic rate of fire since model M/22. The firing-rate reduction devices were based on air compression or vacuum behind the breech-bolt, which was almost hermetically fitted to the tubular receiver.
According to the patent drawings most of the devices were too delicate and difficult to adjust correctly. The least complicated firing-rate reducer device, a simple vacuum valve, was used in every Suomi submachine gun since 1930 to ca. 1986, when last examples of this magnificent piece of equipment were assembled.
Rate reducer.
why has nobody posted pics yet???
