REASSEMBLY OF THE SEMI-AUTO THOMPSON

WARNING: ONCE AGAIN MAKE SURE YOUR THOMPSON RIFLE AND

MAGAZINE IS UNLOADED BEFORE STARTING THIS PROCEDURE.

1. The bolt can be re-inserted into the receiver by placing it in the rear of the receiv

er and sliding it forward through the hole in the front of the receiver.

2. Insert the bolt handle into the top of the receiver (side of the receiver on the M1)

by lining up the holes in the bolt and the receiver. While the receiver is upside down

the hammer can be inserted into the hole in the rear of the bolt.

3. The firing pin pilot and spring can now be inserted into the hole in the rear of the

receiver and the spring should go partially into rear of the bolt.

4. With the bolt fully forward in the receiver the recoil spring guide and springs can

now be installed by first inserting the two springs into the two matching holes in

the top rear of the bolt. Push the recoil spring guide forward under spring tension

taking care should the spring guide slip and come flying out. Once the recoil spring

guide clears the back of the receiver insert the spring guide into the receiver being

careful not to make contact with the firing pin pilot or spring.

5. Push and hold the back of the firing pin pilot so that the small diameter portion of

the pilot lines up with the cut-out on the recoil spring guide. Now push all the way

down on the recoil spring guide so that it slips completely onto the firing pin pilot.

At this point the recoil spring guide should be flush with the receiver.

6. While the receiver is upside down line up the frame slots onto the rear portion of

the rails on the receiver and push the frame fully onto the receiver until the frame

has cleared the frame latch button and locks in place. (See PICTURE #5)
