Description

Few rifles turn heads at the range like a Thompson, and this one lets you enjoy that iconic profile without lugging around a 13-pound boat anchor. The 1927A-1C Lightweight Deluxe from Auto-Ordnance pairs a receiver machined from aluminum alloy with wood-grain polymer furniture, trimming roughly five pounds off the classic steel and walnut version. At about 8 pounds unloaded, it shoulders quick and stays comfortable through long range sessions, and the polymer stock, pistol grip, and vertical foregrip keep the vintage look while shrugging off dings and weather better than wood ever did.

Classic Thompson Character, Modern Build

All the details that make a Tommy Gun a Tommy Gun are here. The finned 16.5 inch barrel wears a pinned Cutts compensator that brings it to 18 inches overall, the charging handle sits up top where it belongs, and the fixed stock with vertical foregrip completes the silhouette. It runs as a semi-auto firing from a closed bolt, chambered in .45 ACP, the same round that made the original famous. Recoil is soft, ammo is everywhere, and the whole package measures about 41 inches from buttstock to muzzle.

The 1927A-1C Drum Setup

This is the T5P50D configuration, which means you get both a 50-round L-drum and a 20-round stick magazine in the box. The drum is the showpiece, and there is nothing quite like loading one up for a range day. The stick mag is the practical workhorse when you want faster, simpler reloads. Between the two, you can run this carbine however the mood strikes.

Who the Thompson 1927A-1C Fits

This one hits the sweet spot for history buffs, collectors who want something they will shoot rather than just display, and anyone who grew up watching war movies and wanted a Thompson of their own. The lighter build and friendlier handling make it a genuine range rifle, not just a wall hanger, and it draws a crowd every single time it comes out of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 1927A-1C Lightweight different from the standard Thompson 1927A-1?

The standard 1927A-1 uses a blued steel receiver and walnut furniture, which puts it around 13 pounds. The 1927A-1C swaps in a machined aluminum receiver and wood-grain polymer stock, grip, and foregrip, cutting the weight to roughly 8 pounds. The profile, controls, and overall look stay true to the classic design.

Is there a trick to using the 50-round drum on the Thompson 1927A-1C?

Yes, the drum slides in from the side rather than clicking straight up like the stick mag, and the bolt needs to be locked back before inserting or removing it. Loading a Thompson drum takes some patience the first few times, but it becomes routine with practice. The 20-round stick is the easier option when you just want quick reloads.

Does the Thompson 1927A-1C fire full auto like the original?

No, this is a semi-automatic carbine that fires one round per trigger pull from a closed bolt. It keeps the vintage looks, top-mounted charging handle, and Cutts compensator of the original design in a modern sporting configuration. It's built by Auto-Ordnance, the brand name that goes back to the original Thompson company.

What is the polymer furniture like compared to real walnut?

The furniture is molded polymer with a wood-grain finish, so it keeps the traditional appearance from a few feet away while being more resistant to scratches, moisture, and temperature swings. It's also a big part of how this model sheds weight compared to the walnut-stocked versions. If you plan to shoot the rifle regularly, it's a practical trade.
