Only three moving parts? Where do I find the blueprints?
…The Reising SMG, 45 cal is a finely made sub-machine gun, runs well in the sterile environment of a SMG range…..But history in the Pacific showed it to be just that, a gun made for the cleanest surroundings, not in the filthy jungle and sands of the Japanese held islands of the Pacific.
..…..I think the going price for a Reising SMG that is on the ATF register, and can be transferred , is about $7,000. right now………It used to be considered the ‘poor-man’s Thompson SMG”, but with this current price, it is hard to be known as that now……bh
My uncle Virgil carried a Reising SMG on Okinawa and said it was a POC. It was also a lot cheaper than the Thompson, maybe even cheaper than the Grease Gun.
The WW2 vets I have spoken with when issued it would have accidents that would get them replaced with a Thompson if available. Most reportedly were sent for”security duty” on conus.
From reading the linked article, the reason the Reising turned out to be a POC was that the manufacture was subbed out to various contractors, and specs weren’t that tight. So some parts might be (+), other parts might be (-). If the gun could be made under one manufacturer, with reasonably tight specs, I wonder how well it would really work?
Unfortunately, under the NFA34 and BATFEces, we’ll never know.
