Auto-Ordnance TM1 M1 Carbine | .45 ACP | 16.5″

The Thompson TM1 M1 Carbine is a semi-automatic rendition of a historically significant design presented with modern manufacturing standards. It is chambered in .45 ACP and built with a 16.5″ barrel, a blued metal finish, and American walnut fixed furniture for an authentic look and feel. This model is appropriate for collectors seeking a historically styled piece and for recreational range shooting where period-correct ergonomics and handling are desired. A durable, low- to mid-power optic such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 or a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 would pair well under $1000 to provide clear sighting while respecting the carbine’s intended sight radius and profile.
