My Dad was in in Patton's 3rd Army, 10th Armored Division, 216th Armored Infantry div. His vehicle was a halftrack. I have a picture of him standing next to it and a picture of him with his tommy gun.

Honestly, the more I see of original full auto Thompsons, the more I realize Thompson development was really just a litany of moments where the military balked at the price and someone in the ordnance department finally sat down and said "Huh... do we REALLY need [insert redundant, overengineered part here]?"

On my semi auto I had my gunsmith cut away material on the mag release so that it mates with the USGI magazines. I'd rather modify the mag release instead of ruining vintage magazines.

Like a friend just said of his Tommy "takes two men and a boy to pull back that bolt."

Love your Videos. They're entertaining as well as educational. I always learn something.

THANKS FOR A GREAT TUTORIAL ON THE COMPARISON OF THESE HISTORIC FIREARMS.
-
Very well presented. You sure knows the weapon inside-out. I tried very well to follow your presentation but a little too fast for a beginner. I love the Thompson ...the grand daddy of them all .Such engineering
-
Great video my guy, I just ordered my Thompson and need all the info possible. You Sir, have delivered!!
-
Great video! Love seeing the breakdown and comparison. The new semi auto version looks like a fun rifle for plinking!
-
super job, learned a lot....
-
Great video. Thanks
-
Very informative video. I just bought a new Thompson 1927 A1 and wanted learn more about how it operates. Thanks!
-
This video was excellent. Very well done and informative. I’m up in the air whether I want to go through the hassle of buying the SBR version. I really like the nostalgia of the original. Decisions, decisions. Cheers!

Anybody from Worcester just shuddered when you said "wor-chester". Its Wusster

Great video. I have always wondered how a full-auto one worked and how they AO builds their semi rifles.
-
Perfect video right in time. Off to an auction soon and several options available, which to buy!!! Bolt on top or side, straight mag or drum..
-
Great video! Do these accept the drum mags?? Or is it only the deluxe models? Thanks and keep up the great content!

I'm located in Kokomo, I'm trying to put together a series of videos of touring Indiana shooting facilities. I'd love to take a look around some time! Auto Ordinance actually just added me to their content creator pricing program, and I just got my Thompson in the mail.

What happens if you switch and fire the bolts out of the different guns?

Interesting. I am an 07/02 and have a Thompson I am going to build from scratch. I wondered how the semi autos go together and if it were easier to convert one or build from scratch. Most I talked with said building from scratch is easier.
