The one on the ITL website is a Ruger 10/22 in the conversion kit .

Sorry, but what is money for if not to spend? And it is Christmas soon....
I have one of these (more the military M1A1 style than the M1928 version) I picked up second hand on my travels and even with the rudimentary iron sights it is one of the most fun and accurate semis we have.
BTW I don't think that price includes the 10/22 donor.

That's what drew me into looking into it, the fun aspect, even if I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn it would still be a good days shooting.
I guessed that the price didn't include the doner, but you can pick up a cheap one for barely anything, still worth it methinks.

ITL website is totally different to a few weeks back. I cant even see the .22 Thompson but I have it on very good authority it was a genuine gun and not a conversion. At least the one that was advertised a month ago was.

I believe they had a 'proper' Thompson for sale a few weeks ago, but plenty of £££s for it.

Often thought about this - especially when you consider its been done ( thompson ) by using a 10/22 action.
Only problem is finding a .22lr donor rifle that feeds from the left and ejects to the right.............

My skorpion would be perfect as a donor for a sten
Not exactly common or cheap though so not exactly useful though.
