Manufactured in the 1970s/1980s as part of the "A" suffix serial range, this Auto-Ordnance 1928 Thompson receiver (absent bolt and internal components, receiver only) is virtually a perfect reproduction of the original vintage "Roaring Twenties" Tommy Gun. Blade front and folding ladder peep sights, with the signature Cutts Compensator and cooling fins on the barrel, the receiver has the Auto-Ordnance patent info on the right and the model markings on the left. Internally, the receiver is properly cut to receive a Blish lock equipped 1921/1928 bolt assembly. Included with the receiver is a hand-numbered matching shipping box with two Thompson brochures, a modern "FBI" style case, two "Type X" 10-round drum magazines, five stick magazines, a buttstock and a cleaning rod.
