Description:

Manufactured in the 1970s/1980s as part of the "A" suffix serial range, the Auto-Ordnance 1928 Thompson is virtually a perfect continuation of the vintage Tommy Gun. Blade front and folding ladder peep rear sight, with the signature Thompson-marked Cutts Compensator and cooling fins on the barrel, dual pistol grips, and a quick-detach buttstock. Internals follow the 1928 pattern, with a matching number and "QF" hand-scribed in the interior of the receiver. Included with the lot is an "FBI" style case, four "Type L" 50-round drum magazines (one nickel, three blue), and ten total stick magazines.

Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished, with mild handling marks overall. The buttstock has been fitted with an alloy mounting iron. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
