King Arms M1928 Thompson Horizontal Foregrip

I didn't think they could be swapped over.
Any reason you want too mate? Its not really in keeping with the original?

Well to be honest it's because I like variety and having the possibility to have either the horizontal or the vertical would be nice, also it means I can use it for more types of impressions, the likelihood of a British Soldier Of US G.I having a horizontal foregrip is more of a possibility than them using the vertical one, but knowing me I might be wrong.

On another note what's the prevalence of various models of Thompson in the British Army, I doubt they were only given just the M1928/A1 Thompson and how often would you see one with the standard infantry?

Yes, it can be done.
But only if you've got a TM or a KA (like you have). If you've got a Cyma, then its not straight foward and needs some modification (or a new front outer barrel assembly!)

So, all you'll be needing is a new horizontal wood foregrip and it's associated shorter screw.

Erm, yes it is.
The British used M1928 Thompsons with both vertical and horizontal foregrips (and the manufacturing of them also went through using both the original ribbed/finned barrel, or the more economical smooth barrel).

Thank you McVickers, I now know what I'm looking for.

No problem. Happy to help.
I've got a spare horizontal foregrip here, but it's a plastic one, not real wood.
The good thing is, that you can buy a real thompson wood foregrip, and it should fit on with little/no trouble (the screw thread might not be the same, so use a modern M6 thread screw, not the real Thompson foregrip screw.

I'll be considering getting a wood kit when I have the funds, for now I'm happy with getting the plastic version.

Erm, yes it is.

I humbly apologise
I should of been more sure of my facts.

So sorry.

Don't worry about it Luke, we all make mistakes, at least you've been corrected, so you'll not be mistaken again.

And TBH, there's so much else about the so-called "M1928" from KA that's not "in-keeping" with the original, a horizontal foregrip would help it!

I know that the wrong upper receiver is on it, but I didn't see anything else wrong with it.

You didn't look too far then:

To list a few errors:
* Wrong frame (lower receiver) - should have rail for removable butt
* Wrong pistol grip - slight difference
* Selector and safety are wrong shape - should be "blades" not pins
* Butt wrong shape.
* Upper receiver wrong shape - main problem is it should be same width all the way up
* Bolt handle in the wrong place - Should be on top, not the side.
* Barrel finning not accurate.
* Compensator diameter is wrong.
* Compensator slots incorrectly formed.
* Rear sight wrong.

Well done, I should have noticed that the rear sight was wrong, but never mind, it only cost £110.

The good thing is, that you can buy a real thompson wood foregrip, and it should fit on with little/no trouble (the screw thread might not be the same, so use a modern M6 thread screw, not the real Thompson foregrip screw.

Does this work the other way around as well?
