Absolutely gorgeous!! This gun has exceeded all my expectations. Very solid, very tight fitting, and an affordable way to get a copy of a classic. Using Buds layaway made it easy to purchase. They also shipped it, rather quickly, to my personal FFL. Looking forward to a drum mag soon. Will buy from Buds again!!

This gun was great. I bought it back in 2010(?) I severely regret selling it. Haha. Awesome firearm. A little hard to work with in ways but nonetheless it was a great and fun gun. Buds was great as usual!

Buds guns is a great company.
I purchased this firearm as more of a novelty item and glad I did.
I actually had to do some fine tuning to the firing pin mechanism to get it to go off every time.
After which it works and performs well enough.

It looks and feels nice, but unfortunately not sure if the 30 round stick mag that came with the gun has a faulty spring or feed ramps not shaved down right or what because bullets keep jamming up as they are going into the chamber. I mean every single stick I load up has several feeding jams.

Took this gun out to the range for the first time, first mag shot fine, second mag I was able to fire the weapon with the safety on. Later, was shooting in "fire" mode and switched to "safe" and just by switching to safety made the gun fire, finger wasn't even near the trigger, extremely lucky that I was pointing downward. Near the end, had loaded a full mag, and on the first shot Mr. Tommy decided to go full-auto, I only pressed the trigger once, and it automatically fed and shot the remaining 29 rounds. I had DNR on me within 5 seconds, Luckily today no one got hurt or killed. I am very nervous about ever taking this gun out again. I used the recommended .45 acp round nose FMJ, Remington. I also read the manual three times before taking it to the range. Glad I bought the insurance as I will definitely will be sending this one back. Will give Buds' all the credit for the fast shipping and service.

Have not shot my Thompson to date but am so impressed with the product as was sent by Bud's. Beautiful gun and packaging was superb. Bening lighter weight than the original is such an assest. Can't wait to begin shooting the Thompson.

Thompson was as described. Had a stuck safe / fire lever. It finally worked loose and now operates properly. Workmanship is excellent from metal to wood. Have not fired yet as I am presently waiting for a 50 round drum ordered today from Buds. This was second order from Buds and once again received excellent service. James G.

As always, an outstanding experience with Bud's. Arrived in less than a week and looked really nice in the Thompson hard case. The cut outs give everything a secure place plus there is room for more. Weapon is extremely tight at first but, loosens up nicely wants it warms up. A blast to shoot! Thanks Bud's.

It was a great pleasure to deal with Bud's in buying this gun. When I picked the rifle up at my local Gun Shop they asked how much I paid for it. I told them and thier response was with the processing fee I could have bought it from them. I asked them if their gun would come with all the great accessories that Bud's include. The answer, NO and of course those items would have cost more (magazine, case) and the case would not have been as nice. I plan to use Bud's a lot for future gun purchases and I will recommend them to anyone intereste in competive pricing and great service. I can't wait to put a few rounds through the Thompson, but I know I will be the talk of the group I shoot with. Thanks Bud's!

Buying a Thompson is a little like buying a vintage Harley, It may not be the latest technology but it’s more fun than you can believe. In fact, fun is the only reason I can think of to own this gun. It isn’t a hunting rifle and for home defense it’s way too big and heavy, although if a burglar saw you coming down the hallway with this in your hands they would pis themselves. Stick with the recommended ammo and you will have no problems. The only downside is the amount of ammo you will go through, I managed to get 5 casings in the air at one time. Bud’s Gunshop was great, flawless in fact. Great price and service. JK from Olympia

Just got my Thompson in today. The workmanship and quality of the gun is fantastic. Best I have ever seen on a new carbine gun. I am very satisfied with it. The supplied factory case is extremely high quality as well. I have not shot the gun yet, but expect it to have exceptional performance. The gun is a bit heavy at 9.5 pounds. I am glad I bought the aluminum LTW frame. The solid steel frame would be too heavy to carry or shoot a lot. Thanks Khar Arms, great job! Five stars! Bud's Gun Shop did a super job on the internet sale, email updates and transfer to my FFL out of state. Flawless delivery.! I will be a repeat customer. Again five stars!
