AUTO ORDNANCE THOMPSON 1927A1 RIFLE.

Cal. 45 ACP. S# 24467. Bbl. 16 1/2". There are very few firearms as recognizable as the Thompson sub-machine gun. With its characteristic vertical foregrip, heavily finned bbl. & popular drum magazine, the "Tommy gun" or "Chicago Typewriter" may only have a reputation in real life exceeded by Hollywood portrayals. Here we have the 1927-A1 version which is the semi auto carbine variant of the famous SMG. Matte finish receiver & grip frame w/ blued bbl. The 16 1/2" bbl. boasts 35 cooling fins above the wooden vertical grip & a Thompson bullet logo marked Cutts compensator front sight combination just like the original. A slotted end knurled charging handle sits atop the receiver & provides a clear path from the folding rear sight to the front pin. Matching wooden rear pistol grip w/ the left side safety. Full length wood shoulder stock. Left side receiver markings include "MODEL OF 1927 A1"/ "NO. 24467"/ "THOMPSON SEMI-AUTOMATIC CARBINE"/ "CALIBER. 45 AUTOMATIC CARTRIDGE". Right side receiver markings "AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION"/ "WEST HURLEY, NEW YORK, U.S.A." w/ traditional US Patent block. Magwell accepts Thompson drums & modified SMG stick mags. MAGS: (6 total). 1-50 rd. "L" drum marked on front data plate "MAGAZINE TYPE 'L'"/ "THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN"/ "50 CARTRIGES CAL. 45"/ "FOR 1928 MODEL WIND TO"/ "9 OR 11 CLICKS". Front body marked w/ trademarked Thompson bullet logo & "WIND TO 9 OR 11 CLICKS". On rear data plate "AUTO-ORDNANCE CORP."/ "NEW YORK"/ "REGISTERED IN THE"/ "US PATENT OFFICE". 2 Seymour 30rd stick mags, painted grey. 3 black parkerized 20rd stick mags. CONDITION: All outward appearances indicate very little use, if any. Only a few tiny scratches on the rear of the receiver and a little finish wear inside magazine well indicating that a few mags or drums have been previously inserted. No obvious ejection marks. Shiny bore w/ strong rifling & fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (22-3500/JZ). MODERN. $800-1,200.
