auto ord. legal tommy gun??

[xenophobe]

Why someone would want to own a semi-auto Thompson, and yet one that only holds 10 rounds is beyond me. To each, their own.... I guess.

Reed's in San Jose had one in a couple of weeks ago (in the "specials display"). I was tempted.

Saw it too, but $1699!?!?!?





















I ALMOST broke out the plastic

do you guys think that back in the day calling a Thompson a "tommy" gun would get you blasted all over the internetz like you just dumped a clip out yo shotty circa 2010? I'm just sayin' is all..

Straightline Tactical has two of them. I think theyre like ~$1500 less

[andrewj]

I saw (and fondled ) two in Fowlers in Orange. One was a Auto Ord. with the "mobster" forward grip, drum mag, and charging handle on top. The other was in a M1A1 configuration, I don't remember who manufactured that one though. They sure were heavy though.

Maybe because most of us can't own any other versions, yet we still like the model?

Tommy M1A1 semi auto owner here.
You can also put a grip wrap on it and easily go featureless.
I did this and also put the extended bolt handle on it to make charging the rifle easier.
STIFF springs.
More and more of these are finding their way to Cali these days.

Have you got any pictures of this little gadget ?

I'm interested in buying one and I'd like to see what would be involved in retrofitting the BB to my Thompson.

I got one, but its a Preban RAW.
Bought it @ B&B for $800 OTD

I have one from back in the day. I also have a load of mags & drums for mine.

I went featureless, with the horizontal foregrip, and I cut down a spare wood pistol grip into a "nub" that does not protrude beneath the trigger guard.

The downside to featureless is that its almost dangerously uncontrollable for someone who is unused to the weight and heft of a steel Thompson.

I just recently picked up an original Auto -Ordnance 1927A3 in .22 caliber , which is a hoot to shoot and half the weight, plus I can have all the evil features I want.

I guess owning a semi-auto AR15, AK style rifle, FAL, SKS, or any style HK would be beyond you as well?

The answer is simple, the Thompson is an american icon and they are just plain cool.

Turby stop it. your making sense again. same reason we have ak's, ar15's HK91, Fal's.

they all hold 10 rds. but are just freaking badass. Seriously a Thompson m1a1 would be very fun to own. Shot a F/A in vegas thing was freaking SMOOOOOOTH.
