Thompson submachinegun, Model M1, .45 cal., mfd. by Auto Ordnance Corporation, West Hurley, New York, between 1985 and 1986, having S/Ns from M100A to M717A.
Posting for a friend w/o internet access. The gun is NOT in my inventory; it's on form4 in AZ. Price of $9500 includes first tax and delivery, certified funds up front, sorry no trades. John is nearing retirement and has elected to sell off his baby. As you can see from his description, he's a meticulous owner and has pampered this Thompson. 8 magazines, spare M1A1 bolt, parts and springs are included. (I suspect the 'stainless' M1A1 bolt referred to is standard USGI in the white, but perhaps Mike Dillon offers an upgrade I'm not aware of?),......
INFORMATION ON M1 TSMG AND ACCESSORIES
Weapon
It is a West Hurley manufactured Auto Ordnance, Thompson Submachine Gun Caliber .45M1 serial # M475A built in 1986. All serial numbers match. The gun is marked M1 but was original built to M1A1 specifications. The original M1A1 bolt was replaced with an M1 bolt with a separate fire pin and firing pin spring. The M1 bolt is a piece of machined stainless steel with the following markings: a letter P at the 7 O’clock position below the hole for the cocking handle on the left side of the bolt; on the rear of the bolt, around the hole for the recoil spring there is a letter S at the 7 O’clock position and a letter O at the 1 O’clock position. The bolt was given to me by Mike Dillon of Dillon Precision (the manufacturers of the reloaders) because he said the weapon would fire better with the M1 style bolt. There is also a military surplus adjustable canvas sling attached to the TSMG.
The weapon had only one or two owners before I purchased it. Since purchasing the gun in 1992, I have only fired 200 to 300 rounds through it.
Magazines
There are five (8) 30 round stick magazines with the weapon
Two (3) magazines were manufactured by The Seymour Products Co. Seymour, Conn. and came with the weapon when purchased
Three (5) magazines are marked US 30 Cartridge Cal .45 and were manufactured by C Co (an unknown manufacturer) and were given to me by Mike Dillon of Dillon Precision Co.
Spare Parts
I bought a handful of spare parts to do minor repairs if I had problems. They include:
One bag of springs (in a opened plastic bag with US and Vietnamese Writing) including:
1 Recoil Spring
1 Trigger Spring
1 Magazine Catch Spring
1 Sear Spring
1 Sear Lever Spring
1 Frame Latch Spring
1 Firing Pin Spring for the M1 Bolt
One bag with Spare Parts:
1 M1A1 Bolt w/ P marking near bolt cocking handle hole and S on back of bolt below hole for recoil spring (Blued)
1 Magazine Catch with Magazine Catch Spring (Parkerized)
2 Extractors for the M1A1 Bolt marked with letter S (Blued)
