Jim

Yes, the Thompson is fully functional, but I only have her on a collectors permit, so there is no legal way I can shoot her.

Last week I went to Belgium and bought some accessories for my US WWII gun collection.

I have a metal tube oiler very similiar or perhaps the same as the one you show in your 1st picture (Belgium trip). Do you perhaps know what gun this is for?

It's the early version of the oiler for the M1 .30 Rifle. Below it is the plastic oiler that replaced it later in WWII.

Here are some rifles I took to a show a few years ago. I put them up on another site, I've expanded a bit since then.

Nice stuff Sepp!
