My father has a Thompson Auto-Ordnance TM1 that has a totally stuck bolt. He hasn't used the gun in many years, and indicated that he was having some malfunctions before the gun completely froze up.
The bolt is currently stuck about halfway through the lower divot on the bolt track (hard to explain better than that). Won't move forward or back. Flipping the bolt trip lever doesn't do any good, the bolt won't move no matter what position it's in.
The frame latch button does push in, but the frame won't budge.
Suggestions? I can't see anything that might be causing the problem, so I assume there's a problem behind the bolt.
