Had the M-1 version. Great fun, expensive to feed and very heavy.
Pretty accurate considering the four hundred pound trigger.
Can be tricky to strip, the M-1 has two parts which can be installed in reverse order and continue to function.

What model is it?

What fun. To bad .45 is so expensive. See if you can find an old Volunteer Arms mark three or five, fake tommy guns, for a few hundred or so you can have the same experience without ragging out your Khar(SP?)or auto-ord or whatever they are nowdays. Pictures?

I shot a full auto Thompson last week for the first time. It was made in 1939 and worked like a charm. I only got to run through two magazines (not drum mag) but it was easy to shoot, accurate, good trigger, minimal recoil ... I'd buy a full auto one if I could.

Happiness is a f/a Tommygun! But hey, I'd take a semi anyday too. Cheaper to feed for sure.

You do know that original thompson magazines won't work unless modified don't you?
