I have been trying to find out on the web. Maybe I am not doing it right, but I am more confused now, that when I started my research. Was there ever a .25 ACP Thompson SMG???. I am sure I saw a picture of a full size thompson, with a .25 ACP version side by side. I have been researching, found nothing conclusive. Please help, and a picture would be really nice! thanks my fellow highroad men!:banghead:

Back in the late '60s there was a Antique and Collectible fireams shop on Hillcrest across from SMU named Jackson Arms. They are no longer there, but I remember they had a 1/2 scale .25ACP Thompson SMG on display. ISTR, they also had a .22 caliber Gatling gun.

Back in 1960s some company in Italy made Lercker machine pistol in 6,35mm Browning, which is an Euro name for .25ACP

The late MG dealer J. Curtis Earl had some .25 ACP miniature Thompsons.

Wow, a less lethal Thompson!
If you REALLY have a jones for a teeny, tiny Thompson, Miniature Arsenals in Russia builds most of the versions in 1/3 scale http://www.miniaturearsenal.ru/miniature-weapons/submachine_guns/52-thompson_1921_drum.html ; here's their 1928

Thanks Guys, it is always nice to be brought out of the dark. I did remeber seeing pictures of them on some 20 year old Guns & Ammo magazine. It is nice to know they exist. Somehow I thought maybe Auto ordnance had manufactured them. Thanks again

The Curio & Relic list mentions Thompson's from .45 to .22lr caliber manufactured in West Hurley.

He obviously loved his job :D
