Thompson 1928 SMG stock, need help attaching to my VM-68

sloonan · 08-16-2007, 05:58 PM

I was finally able to find a walnut stock for a 1928 Thompson SMG that I wanted to put on my VM-68. I was hoping you might have an idea as to the best way to do this.

A picture of your VM setup might also be useful.

Edit:

www.vm68.com: Custom VM-68s

I just remembered Chris Mader's site has a bunch of custom VM pics in it. Look through and see if anything there looks right for your mounting.
Look under "snipers" and there is a tommy-stocked VM.

I will be moving the tank for a vertical hook up but right now it is going to the back.

If you have the lower plug you can reverse both plugs and use the threaded holes in them. You would just have to make or find someone to make you an L adapter that would attach to the stock with holes that would line up with the ones in the plugs.

noxx55 is making me a bracket to attach the stock. WOOHOO!

Now all I gotta do is find one of the V.T.S. (Vertical Tank System) that doesn't cost $70.

I could order you one new from Proteam, only thing is that I will be out of town for two weeks. If you're willing to wait until Sept 4th then we'll be set.

The VTS (Vertical Tank System) was an in house product made by skanline.... as far as I know proteam never made a vert adapter for the VM... even when they made the VMX kit.

I can wait, how much are they?

I set up the tank by reversing the trigger guard and putting on a duckbill. This way I can have the tank without interfering with the stock when I get it. It is also helpful for stabilizing the gun. This way I won't need a VTS at all.

Since a VTS is hard to get,You could do a VTS style mod to a Lonestar asa adapter like I used to use
