Can anyone tell me what type of weapon was the M3A1.?

The widespread use of the Thompson was due mainly to the fact that it was the only allied submachine gun in mass production at the beginning of WWII. It had several weaknesses; e.g. weight and control. The Sten, for example, which was of stamped and welded metal construction and finished with a paint-like coating, scored higher than the Thompson when such things as simplicity, accuracy, weight and reliability were measured. \n\nThe .45 caliber M3/M3A1 are far easier to manufacture than the Thompson, and have a number of excellent design features in addition. The low cyclical rate of fire makes the gun easier to control than most submachine guns, not only the Thompson. The weapon's straight line of recoil thrust also adds substantially in controlling the gun in automatic fire. The gun's loose tolerances allow for reliable operation even if very dirty and, with its bolt and guide rod design make it more reliable than the Thompson under adverse conditions.\n\nThe M3/M3A1 is only capable of fully automatic operation; however, with its slow rate of fire, an experienced shooter can squeeze off single rounds.

Wow, you have quite  a collection! My humble cashe contains A M38 Swedish Mauser, A Iver Johnson made M-1 Carbine & a FEG made Hi Power clone. I wish I had the $$$ to buy more stuff. I've got a wish list that includes a 1897 Winchester Trench, A Semi- Auto Ohio ordinace made 1918BAR copy, and a Fn FAL. Your right about expanding the shooting section beyond hunting also.

Fabrique Nationale, the Belgin national firearms group produced dozens of different military and civillian weapons from the late 1800's to this day.\nDe Guerre, means "for war" indicating that yes, this is a military weapon. \nThe caliber .30-06 narrows things down a bit. While F.N.       MAY have produced Mauser rifles in that caliber for some contracts, The definitly produced a semi-automatic rifle in that caliber, and It has considerable collector and shooter interest.\nIf you can't find it on the gunbroker page someone else suggested, Try going to security arms photo archive and scrolling down to F.N. guns and looking for one like yours.\nHollar back and let us know what you found!
