I bought my thompson when they came out. The only problem I had with it was my fault....some will remember my electrical tempering mishap that ended up feeding 16.8 volt in the gun and stripped the piston and cracked the nozzle.
I've been running a 10.8 volt power pack with metal busing, top power 170 (fps around 380)springs and vented piston head, the rest of the box is stock. I've been running that setup for about 4 years now...and cleaned her up for the first time last week (before selling her) and the internals showed minimal to negligable wear on all internal parts. The only worn out part was the spring. For some reason I have a very heavy finger ( well considering that she empties the mag in what 3 seconds) when I use her as I had 12 lows and 3 high....
