Customer Reviews for Thompson M1 Lightweight Carbine 45 ACP 30+1 Hard Coat Anodized

As usual Buds delivered as expected as i have purchased several firearms from them. I put 50 rounds of Winchester white box though it and the Thompson ran flawlessly. It is a great piece of history. It was a little awkward to get used to at first but after a few rounds i was able to adjust to it. I only gave it four stars because when i received it, the front handgrip had a chip and a bad scratch on it and the handgrip had a big dented place in it. I didnt send it back since i think i can repair the damage and didnt want to start the process all over again and have to wait for them to get one back to me. Dont know if it was Buds fault or it came from the factory that way. But i can live with it. Thanks again Buds

Great gun, I have a original Auto ordance, When they were made in ny , I wanted one that wasn't so heavy. A fun buy.

I have had nothing but trouble with this rifle. It pierces the primer and sends a blast of gas back into your face. I have sent it back to Auto-Ordinance twice and they have yet to fix the problem. They said they replaced the Sear, firing pin, extractor and reworked the bolt. I think it's out of warranty now and I haven't heard back from them.

First off let me say that Buds delivered fast and efficiently! Again. As far as the Thompson, this will be short and to the point. At first impression it looks great! Nice case with "Chicago Typewriter" on it. Packed in a nice tight styro material and egg crate foam. The machining on the carbine looks great! The only issue I have is the fit and finish of the wood. The foregrip is not cut strait and looks crooked from the top view, and there are scratches and scuffs in both the handle and stock. Not noticeable from a distance but still present. I have not seen a lot of these carbines in the past so I'm not sure if this is common. Haven't shot it yet but that's coming soon!

AWESOME GUN!!!! I've wanted one of these my entire life and today it finally happened!!! Picked it up at my local gun shop and after staring at if for about an hour I took it to the range. It's beautiful, very easy to handle, and accurate. There's no point in going through all the hassle of buying the SBR when this thing is just as impressive in person. It took a couple of weeks for processing and shipping, but during the holiday season it was to be expected. All in all I'm really impressed with the gun and Buds service. Buds had this rifle for $350 lower than anywhere else I looked. Like I tell all my friends don't buy a gun anywhere else unless you've checked Buds first.

The transaction with Bud's went great as usual. No hiccups and very easy. Firearm was shipped in 5 days and in my hands 8 days after I ordered it. The Thompson TM1C is a beautiful weapon to behold. Really nice walnut stocks. Appears to be well-made. Fit and finish is very good. Comes in a very nice hard plastic case with the Thompson logo emblazoned on the front and well padded within. One 30 round stick magazine. The action of the bolt is smooth and the trigger while somewhat heavy has a nice break. Very cool rifle and I think Auto Ordnance/Kahr are producing a fitting reproduction of a legendary firearm.
