| I want to find out if you could shorten a barrel on a semi auto Thompson and have a permanent cutts compensator? Like the way Bushmaster sells M4 uppers with a 14 inch barrel and permanent FH. At least then with the Thompson it would look a little closer to the FA gun.Another reason is why would you take the comp off except to replace it? Thompsons don`t look right with any thing else. |

Shortening Thompson barrels won't work. The end of the barrel is expanded into an enlarged muzzle which is threaded. The M1/M1A1 Thompson's also have an enlarged but unthreaded muzzle to accept the non-Cutts front sight. If you cut the barrel off, it's too small to attach either a Cutts Comp or a M1A1 front sight. Thompson semi-auto guns have the same threads as the full-auto guns, so barrels interchange. I don't think Kahr changed this. |
