No doubt I'm a little late to the party on getting and reviewing this one, but better late than never.
I bought a Green Mountain 16" finned barrel, with Cutts style compensator forged integral with the barrel. (Actually I bought the Green Mountain barrel from "Shooter's Discount", because Green Mountain listed it for $239.00 and Shooter's Discount listed it for $195.00 including shipping). But I also kept my factory smooth barrel. I just put the "Fun Gun" kit all together last evening. I used a Ruger 10/22 50th anniversary model as the host firearm. I bought the "Chicago" model with vertical foregrip from Scottwerx, and also bought the horizontal foregrip so I could change out from the finned barrel to my smooth factory barrel and by adding the horizontal foregrip, make it look WW2 style. The dress up kit has absolutely gorgeous wood and the machining and quality overall is top notch. I was very impressed. It will take any mag a normal Ruger 10/22 will take. I put a GSG 110 rd drum, a MWG 50 rd teardrop mag, as well as several other mags in it to check for fit. Everything works fine. It even comes with a fake mag extension that you epoxy to your 10 rd Ruger rotary mag to make it look like a Thompson stick mag. I've shot real full auto Thompsons and a friend of mine has a Kahr Arms semi auto Thompson with the over 16" barrel. But his is sooo very heavy. I'm no wimp, but I can't imagine carrying that around France, Italy and Germany during WW2. I'd always liked the Thompson except for its weight. The Scottwerx kit gave me the opportunity to get my Tommy gun "fix" (as it were), without the weight and expense (of even a real semi auto one). And it's made in California so it's California compliant legally. I've done a lot of work around Ruger 10/22's (Akins Accelerator, as well as my prototypes of worlds first water cooled Ruger 10/22 that's convertible in seconds to air cooled, etc), and I've seen a lot of bumpfire as well as non bumpfire and dress up stocks for the Ruger 10/22, and I've got to say, I think this is one of the nicest and superior quality ones. I luv it. Here's a few pics of mine.
The wood on these kits is absolutely beautiful.
With smooth 18 & 1/2" factory tapered barrel and horizontal foregrip (WW2 style).
With Green Mountain tapered finned barrel with integrally forged with the barrel Cutts style compensator and epoxied mag extension on factory 10rd mag, and vertical foregrip.
Same as pic above, only with German Sports Guns (GSG) 110rd drum mag. Load it on Sunday and shoot it all week Lol.
And with MWG 50 rd teardrop mag.
