The Model of 1927A1 Thompson
Semi-Automatic Carbine is the version made by Auto-Ordnance of West Hurley, New York, for the civilian gun market from 1974 to 1999. The barrel length of a 1927A1 is 16.5 inch.
Mine is a
Fully Automatic Model 1928 marked "Property of US Navy." The barrel length is 10.5 inches...
Which proves longer is
not always better!
Even Charlie Bronson...
learned that at an early age!

When I get really, really, rich, I'm going to get a mint-condition Colt-made 1921 Thompson, along with a Mint Colt-made 1918 BAR. (And a lot of other fantasy stuff)
