Need FIring PIN for Hudson Thompson M1A1

*** Originally posted by roland, headless thompson ***


Hi Guys, I'm an FNG here so bear with me. I've had in my possession for a couple years a Hudson Thompson M1A1 which appears to have had the firing pin removed so that it can chamber dummy 45 ACP rounds. Actually the guy told me it could fire real 45 ACP blanks and I was naive enough to buy into that.

So I'm looking to restore it to firing PFCs. Any chance I can find a firing pin?

I also have an MGC THompson and notice it is a different style of firing pin which I did actually have access to replacemtn firing pins for.

I know this horse may have been beat to death but can I use my MGC 45 rounds in the Hudson?

Thanks for the help

Hmm, what a different tag...Anyway, Welcome to the forums!

As for the "firing pin" the proper modelgun term is the "Detonator" forum member Francky1958 is the person to ask about parts for the Hudson M1A1..I do believe that the MGC cartridges can be used but it will take a custom detonator to work properly.
