I don't think these are available in the states any more.
The last place to have them is/was in Alexandria Virginia.

At one time, they sold a large variety of replica guns, including the Thompson.

I think they are still in business, but I don't think they have any more. Sorry, I can't remember their name, but they used to advertise in the gun magazines.

I think there are several air soft M1 Thompson replicas being made in Japan. Try a internet search.

As for the Thompson 1928 replica, start haunting Ebay, just about everything shows up there.

Also, advertise on the "Wanted/for sale" forums on the gun boards. Likely somebody will either have one, or know where to get one.

I know they stopped allowing them into the country back around the early to mid-80's but I don't remember why. You see one pop up every once and a while in an auction, but they aren't cheap.

If you want an alternative, Philadelphia Ordnance Inc makes replicas built on 80% milled receievers. I'm not sure what the actual ATF approval process is, but they can then be turned into blank firing replicas. Not bad for $275.
