The Ranger Thompson
On D-Day, the U.S. Army Rangers faced an impossible mission to seize German fortifications at Pointe du Hoc and destroy the enemy positions. Auto-Ordnance honors the memory of the “Boys of Pointe du Hoc” with “The Ranger Thompson.” Each gun features engravings commemorating the Ranger’s role in
D-Day. On the right buttstock is engraved part of President Ronald Reagan’s famous speech on the 40th anniversary of the landing, along with an image of an Army Ranger, the Ranger patch, and
grappling hook used to scale the cliffs. The date of the battle is on the right forearm. On the left side handguard is engraved Maj. General Cota’s quote forever associated with D-Day, “Rangers Lead the Way!” Images of Rangers in action, the Medal of Honor, and their leader Lt. Col. James Earl Rudder adorn the buttstock. Each side of the grip has a 75th Anniversary D-Day commemorative emblem. The finish is super durable Cerakote in Olive Drab, with Patriot Brown controls, and Armor Black fill on the
engraving. Each gun starts as a factory Thompson M1 Model, chambered in .45 ACP, with 16.5” barrel, fixed battle sights, and high quality American walnut furniture. One 30-round and one 20-round magazine, a Kerr sling, and a WWII 3 mag pouch are included.
