1928 Thompson PolarStar Conversion

Talk about another successful conversion though it was a complex one. Now we see a Thompson airsoft gun now running on the PolarStar Fusion Engine... "The Thompson submachine gun is an iconic firearm that was popular during the early 1920s through WWII. Unfortunately it’s not a gun that is typically found on an airsoft field, except for maybe WWII focused games and reenactments.

Since it is a machine gun, it would appear to be an ideal candidate for a PolarStar Fusion Engine conversion. Todd Bolinger again threw the challenge out to have me convert his 1928 Thompson to use a Fusion Engine. Todd sent me his Thompson Model 1928 with drum mag that started out as a TM M1A1 but underwent significant modification using the rare Mosquito Molds steel conversion kit and Crab Apple real wood furniture. It is a beautiful gun! The challenge in converting the Thompson to use the Fusion Engine is the very specific gearbox design and the way the gun is assembled."
