Someone mentioned getting the AGM MP40 to have a gearbox assisted moving bolt similar to the kits available for AK's, well here's a video of someone who's done it on a Thompson

And here's the thread where he explains how he did it

I second waffman, That would be very sweet, but I wouuldnt like to try it on a new TM, Sounds like a job for a second hand or CYMA/AGM Thompson.
i looked into this on my ak,
the guy at zero one, told me its basicly grinding a slot in your gearbox near the spring/piston, and attaching either to the bolt.
but its a full strip dpwn, so i wont be trying till my mp40 "DIES", then ive nothing to loose

If its passed 9 there is a 95% chance im pissed.
I did like the second idea, this one:
There is a hole at the back of my gearbox, but the spring guide doesn't have a hole at the front of it.
Not too happy about drilling holes into my tommy.
If you were going to do the second idea, it would be best to use a systema brass spring guide and drill a hole in the end (if it doesn't already have one) and shim the tapering internal with a nice phosphor-bronze bushing. Use a piece of stainless rod for the push-rod and the rest is up to you! I'd use a small brass 90 dergree rod coupler to make the L-bar on the end of the push-rod. Mabey the old style of Meccano rod couplers would work.

And there was me thinking of using a spare barrel cleaning rod and a bit of sticky tape.
...
...no seriously. The rod fits rather nicely
Youve bloody lost me.

i think it looks far mro eimpressive on teh MP40 - has anyoen tested it for longevity?
I fitted the official blowback kit ot a Star SA80 . It blew the gear box casing on the first outing . In retrospect it's just more to go wrong, I'm, not sure I'd bother again .

I think this is a marushin model kit or something or one of those old blowback mp40s by the way the thompson clone is out in the market now to do de blowback on it

It is worth thinking about for thrill factorwith the cheep clone on both the MP40 and the Thompson but Not on a pricey gun as you are essencially adding weeknesses and extra stress points that will go wrong.
