1927 a-1 Thompson machine gun

[Joe Boleo]

I have the Model 1927-A1 and the World War II Model M1 Thompson semi-auto rifles. They shoot well with 230 grain lead RN bullets propelled with a moderate charge of Unique. My local gunsmith had to do a bit of tuning to get my Thompsons to shoot well. I would suggest keeping them clean and well lubed. I use the 30-round magazines. The drums are interesting, but they tend to be expensive and make a heavy gun very heavy. Have fun. Take care.
