The Thompson T1 1927A-1 Deluxe delivers authentic semi-automatic firepower with modern manufacturing precision. This faithful reproduction of the iconic submachine gun combines historical aesthetics with contemporary reliability for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of American firearms heritage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic reproductions, the T1 1927A-1 Deluxe features genuine American walnut furniture and traditional blued steel finish that matches original specifications. The 16.5-inch barrel provides optimal ballistics for the .45 ACP cartridge while maintaining the classic Thompson profile. Auto-Ordnance constructs each rifle with modern CNC machining tolerances that exceed original wartime production standards.
