Hi DA,

That's looking pretty good so far as the general shape is concerned. You are missing the sling hole in the back of the stock rotational housing on the rear. The forward sling mounting is just behind the barrel nut and sticks out to the side. The bolt handle is on the opposite side and it's slot extends the full length of the receiver tube with the hold open slot cut right into the metal above the guide cut out. Here are a couple of views to get you going in the right direction.

These things are a blast to fire, they literally spray 9MM. I have a hard time getting enough magazines loaded up to play with just 32 rounds a clip. The Thompson .45 with a 50 round drum has a much slower rate of fire and lasts a little longer.

the sling hole is there, clearly visible in the pics, to me anyway...

Hey Dark. You should consider the variants of this piece as well. That way you can get more than one model with only a little extra work.

Exellent. But, As Mr Treadhead said, there are a few things not quite right. I've a bunch of reference pics in my photobucket if you think you may find them handy.
