I hope to be the right section!
What's his name, that piece near Outer barrel and handguard? (near cutt compensator)
I was wrong section?
I apologize
Thanks
If you're talking about the metal band, I don't think it's a standard fitting. I've not seen that before.

Grip Mounts
QUESTION: What are the various widths and styles of grip mounts?
ANSWER: All Thompson grip mounts are ½" wide and are interchangeable in all models of Thompson guns.
There are 3 styles. The 1921/1928 1-piece grip mount has an upward bend which creates a great deal of interference with the barrel. When it is installed it is pre-stressed to provide the rigidity required by the vertical foregrip. The 1928A1/M1 grip mount is the same as the 1921/1928 except that they do not have the upward bend. The bend is not necessary since they are used only with horizontal foregrips which bear directly against the barrel. M1A1 grip mounts were made from 3 pieces riveted together. They are therefore referred to as the 3-piece grip mount.
The 3-piece design was a failure because the rearmost riveted part required a hole in the body of the grip mount near the front end of the receiver where the grip mount needed its maximum strength. A downward pull on the sling can bend the grip mount downward, away from the barrel. To solve this problem, a strap was fitted clamping the barrel and front end of the forearm together. This is a classic case of a penny saving change costing dollars to fix.
LOL. Even Real Steel Thompsons suffered from breaking grip mounts!
And the same place, too.
Well I never.
Lucky for me this came up.
I was going to make a grip mount in the "3-part" way...
Mitrano:
You don't have to fit it. As evidenced by some of the responses, some of us had never seen, or noticed them, so it's a fair assumption that not all M1928A1s or M1A1s had them fitted.
Oh, and I don't think it'd stop the breakage on AEGs - The real steel's barrel is rigidly-enough mounted to make the band work. The AEG barrel isn't.
I want to mount it because I like it.!
Considering the other work you've done, I'd have thought shaping a strip of aluminium would be possible for you.
I've seen the sling mounted to it as well so that's a whole lot of new options for tommy users.
