Krave Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I recently got a Auto Ordnance 1927A1. I'm wondering about a break in period? basically anything a newbie to the Thompson should know.. Also anyone from California too? I'm looking for a few 10 rd mags if anyone can steer me towards a place I can pick up a few. Thanks...Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanvock Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm new to Thompson's too so I don't have any concrete answer but from what I've gleaned so far anywhere from 200-500 rnds seems to be the general consensus. I've put 400 through my TM1C & am forced to give up & send it in due to feeding & firing issues. I haven't seen any recommendation from Kahr on these but I have one of their pistols & they say 200 rnds for break in. It probably varies from one to the next.

Baltimoreed11754 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) EZ pull springs and a buffer will make your Thompson operation easier. I bought an older model AO [West Hurley] with the thought that the bugs would be worked out. It still had the oem springs so I swapped them out and did a buffer. A lot easier to operate the bolt and it feeds my lead rn, rnfp and swc ammo just fine. I recently had deerslayer make mine into a sbr and love it. He does excellent work.
