* If used with completely original 1921 firearms, a 1928 recoil spring, guide rod and buffer must be substituted for the OEM large diameter 1921 parts.  Most 1921's were converted to "1928 overstamp" firearms.  Part of that conversion was use of the 1928's design recoil spring, guide rod and buffer.

** The kit is not recommended for / or warranted to work with "West Hurley" new manufactured and other post WWII firearms or the 1927 and other semi-auto versions of the THOMPSON.
