Not with that length barrel.  I think the originals had 10.5" barrels.

I don't know all the variations, that's why I asked.

The 16 inch barrel gives it away as a semi auto reproduction from Kahr Arms (They bought Auto Ord )

Yes, looks like the T1 or T5 model.

Built about twenty minutes south of where I'm sitting!

It says Auto-Ordinance Corporation, model 1927 A1 and it has the Thompson bullet logo on it. It came with the long hard case   :)   and a regular magazine also. The next purchase is the violin case, that's a must have!! It's mine, all mine.....I let the old man have the M1 Carbine that came with it. He doesn't care.....he has his M1A!!!  Both guns cost me a thousand bucks, but it was worth it because I think Tommy is way cool!!

Auto Ordnance, owned by Kahr Arms in Worcester just south of me here in central MA, makes the reproductions of the Thompson.  Auto Ordnance is the original maker of the Thompson.  They make M1 Carbine repops and 1911's as well!

Did you get the aluminum lightweight or the standard?

Both for $1k ?  You got a steal.
Think of it as you paid a lot for the Thompson and got the Carbine free.

Careful red how you throw out long hard case,....we have high standards for describing exceptional firearms,.....but the cases they come in?


We are simply shameless... ::)

More pics please.... 8)

and a range vid,....still waiting on the M1A range report,...(it's not too cold now is it?)........

Get the ol' man to the range with a box of boolets, and bring some .45's for Tommy...Would really enjoy seeing them run...

After my BAR exp., I just love those era guns!!!..

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
