| I've been searching through this and the original forum for a link to my post asking the same question John, without success I'm afraid. Part #63 is intended (as far as I can remember) to centralise the old Paper Cap Open cartridges in the early MGC Thompsons.When using later c.p. type cartridges, as almost certainly all regularly fired Thompsons are these days, part #63 is not required. It's abscence will not affect firing performance at all. If, however, you want one, forum member Ken Harris (kharris) had one for sale on Gunbroker.(http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=183717041) I hope this helps _________________ Cerwyn

MGC Thompson Magazine Tension Clip Part # 63 this is the clip that goes in the receiver to keep tension on the very early Stick Type Magazines Note if your magazine is very loose fitting when locked in place then you have the early type design stick mag used on the Early Made mgc tommy M-1921 Models This clip is not required when using the mgc Drum Type Magazine. The newer mgc tommys did not require this tension clip due to a re designed Magazine that fits tighter when locked in place
