Auto-Ordnance Thompson M1 | .45 ACP | 16.5 in

The Auto-Ordnance Thompson M1 is a semi-automatic .45 ACP carbine styled on the classic Thompson design, with authentic walnut furniture and period-correct controls. It pairs traditional appearance with modern manufacturing, featuring a 16.5-inch smooth barrel and a fixed walnut stock with vertical foregrip. For an optic under $1,000 that complements the M1’s close- to mid-range performance, consider a low-power variable such as the Vortex Crossfire II 1-4×24 for fast target acquisition and durable construction. Typical uses for this model include historical reproduction/collection and recreational range shooting.
