10/22 Thompson kit

I looked around and came up empty also. The company was in California so it may have fallen afoul of local regulations and gone under. Too bad, they sold a nice kit with good options! I bought one of the "Squad" version kits about a year ago. They are easy to install and great fun to shoot! If you look around you might find a used kit or converted gun. Good luck!

 

thats sad , i too picked one up last year - still working on mine as ive not had the idle time so far but its lookin like it will get done soon ,

 

Thats too bad, I like mine. Here it is with my two M1 kits.

 

the kit i got was superb , walnut was really nice and is finishing up beautifully , setting mine up like Itcnav's but i have the other bits as well that match equally well [guess ill store those away for the heirs in case they want to change it over]

 

ok, story I got from a supplier is Scott "retired"... and is looking for someone to take over making the kits... until then.. none are available.

 

Glad I got mine when I did.

 

Yep, we got the "Chicago" model too.. was wanting to also get the "Squad Leader" WW2 style one.. maybe some day...

 

I was going to buy one but I couldn’t find a finned barrel.

 

Hello.
This is Scott from Scott Werx.

I thought I would update everyone on what has happened as regards kit production.
My long time metal supplier (who was certainly giving me "good guy" pricing which I passed along) had to retire early and unexpectedly due to medical reasons.
I had the kits quoted for production by a number of new vendors, unfortunately the price went up over $100 per kit, which would have pushed the retail kit price to over $400.
At this higher price there would still be some sales but not enough volume to cover overhead and the costs of new tooling, CNC programs, etcetera.
So for now the kits have been discontinued.

I want to thank all my customers for giving me a try.
It has truly been a pleasure dealing with so many great people.
The kits were a labor of love, made by a shooter for fellow shooters.
I made the fist kit for myself with no intentions of making more.
But when people saw them, they like them and started throwing money at me, so a business was born.
The many positive comments on the kits have made all the work that went into them worthwhile.

For now, kit production has ended.
I will be watching the industry and if the opportunity presents itself, the kits may go back into production.

Thank you all again.
- Scott

 

Thanx for bringing us up to date :bthumb:
Too bad that circumstances backfired on you, a not uncommon story in the odd-ball gun/gun parts cottage industry.
Kudos to you for even giving it a go, a lot of good ideas never get past the conversation stage.

 

thompson kit

Check this out caluvtech.com/products . Sorry has anyone ever bought from this company? thanks

 

Let us know if you decide to do it again.

 

Late to the show, but I just happened onto a Chicago type kit.
I emailed Scot and he was prompt to respond.

Now I'm after a used donor 10/22, but they're gold these days.

LVSNRP how are you liking that finned barrel? PAX

It makes the build. Would not do it if I could not find the barrel.

 

They are not in production.

 

I was thinking he made had some old stock put away you never know dose not hurt to ask

 

As it appears reading may be a challenge for you,

I do have limited number of spare parts available so if you need something you can email me scottwerx @ yahoo .com but no more kits for now.

 

Spose one could lathe-turn a finned barrel shroud to fit over a sporter taper barrel?

 

Look man I am new to this page I posted a question on it I didn't see that it had a few pages yes I can read I don't sit at home on a computer or my phone trying to figure out every new website I find so I am sorry if I miss something I am just trying to find a awesome kit that my son ask for

 

I'm with MAlvarado. If any are available, I want one. BTW...welcome to RFC. Don't be discouraged. Not everyone here is so cranky.

 

Don't worry - It never hurts to ask.

If you can't find one of the Tommy Gun kits, maybe you can find one of the Green Mountain "Reising" stocks they made for their finned barrels. They currently show it as "out of stock", but I doubt they will be making more.

I picked up this gun set up as you see it (I added the rail/rear peep) earlier this year for $250.00 (his asking price)...

Since this photo was taken I put an older Aimpoint 3000 I had sitting on the shelf on it - kinda keeps a "military look" to it, and it is a fun range toy!

I let folks use it at our clubs Rimfire Steel matches if they didn't bring a rifle, or their gun fails too often.

Good luck in finding what you need.

Thompson?
Get the Real Thing (in semi-a) and reload a lot! :gun4:
Warn ya though, they are Heavy!

 

Cheaper to shoot than the real thing

 

There is a M1 Carbine kit rifle at a LGS here in Las Vegas. It's a consignment gun, and he wants over $600 for it. It's cool, but just not $600 cool to me

 

it looks like these are not available except on the secondhand market.

 

from what ive found the original mfgr has stopped making them and not sold the system to anyone new to pick up where he left off - unfortunate as its a great kit that any of us can assemble , it also came with optional configurations , i ish someone would pursue it ,

 

Mine hardly ever gets out of the safe anymore, but it got a lot of attention when I took it to the range.

Hello
Would you please send me photos of how the front vertical grip is made and attaches to the gun. Thank you very much in advance.

 

As usual, I waited too long. The last time I got the itch to build a 10-22 kit, I came across a Zimmerman Arms kit, sort of like an AR, and a friend of mine passed who’s name was also Zimmerman but no relation, but I bought it anyway … I like it but I think I’d rather have the Tommy.
