Feast your eyes on the beautifully crafted Auto Ordnance 1927A-1 Carbine, a semi-automatic variant of the legendary Thompson Submachine gun, fondly known as the "Chicago Typewriter". This Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) is in splendid condition, showing only the faintest signs of any prior use or handling. Included in the sale are the SBR registration papers, a Plano heavy-duty hardcase, and five magazines - three 30-round mags and two 20-round mags.
The 1927A-1 is a piece of American history. Designed by General John T. Thompson in the late 1910s, this firearm was a staple during the Prohibition era and World War II. It's not just a relic, though - the 1927A-1 is fully operational, with a blowback action and a .45 ACP caliber that ensures power in every shot. The 30+1 round capacity offers significant firepower, making this rifle an asset in target shooting and home defense scenarios.
This model features a blued finish and a smooth walnut stock, complete with a molded pistol grip and grooved foregrip. The front post sight is complemented by a protected rear aperture. The barrel length is 10.5", and the length of pull is 17.25". A reduced pull spring kit has been installed, but the original hardware is still included. An OD green gun strap is attached, and there is minor paint chipping on the butt plate due to less-than-ideal manufacturing by Auto Ordnance.
The Auto Ordnance 1927A-1 Carbine fuses history and performance, making it a must-have for any firearms enthusiast or history aficionado. Don't miss your chance to own this American classic.
