ok. That's what i was hoping for is that i could just buy it my self and drop it in without having to ship it off to them. Thanks.

What do think would cause the bolt to do that? How much did kahr charge to replace the bolt when shipped back to them?

yes i looked at the pricing for the bolt/assembly at the kahr website. It running at about $170. When I bought the gun from the dealer he was upfront and honest about the issue it was having. He said that he had installed a new firing pin to see if that was the problem. Should I replace the firing pin again anyways along with the new bolt? Thanks for your advice.

yes I also noticed that too once i had taken the bolt completely out. It on the bottom side of the bolt. I'm wondering if it had something to do with misalignment and it hitting itself on the rim of the cartridge. Thank you for your advice.

These are what i took of the bolt still assembled and field stripped.

This what mine is looking like right now. Maybe you can see something that i can't.

Ok yes mine also has a slight bow to the extractor. How do i stake it?

do you know if the exctactor is supposed to be perfectly straight or if it has a little curve or bend to it?

man that's so terrible. So sad how some of this stuff is handled during shipping and handling.

thanks for the welcome. What twerking did you have to do with yours?? I bought mine in really good used condition. Mine is from Autoordanance. It was made in 1982. And in awesome shape for considering the age. The only bad thing is mine didn't come with a owner's manual, so everything that I've learned about it so far is from reading other people's reviews and Google and you-tube for troueshooting tips and disassemble/reassemble. Anything helps me.

Thank you for the advice on that. When i field stripped the gun. I did notice that the extractor seemed a little too far in for the round to be seated flat against the bolt. I looked at the extractor to my 1911 same 45acp caliber, and it looked a little more out towards the edge. Where it should be. Ill see if I can push/pull the extractor more towards the outer edge and take it back out to the range. I cleaned the trigger group and gave everything a good little oiling. I can't wait to go back out to the range and see if it may have helped.

Hi everyone. I am also new to this forum. I too have just recently bought a used auto ordnance 1927-A1 Thompson. The dealer at the gun shop forewarned me of an issue with this gun. He said that it will mis-fire every 3rd round or so. I just took it out last weekend and as expected it did just that. I pulled the trigger and let off a good 3 or 4 rounds and the next would just click, click, click. I would manually eject and it would go again. It almost looks as if it doesn't sometimes fully cock itself automatically after a fired round. Sometimes the misfired round that comes out looks as if the firing pin isn't hitting hard enough. The gun dealer put a new firing pin in before i purchased it. I read a few trouble shooting tips on these Thompson's and it's seems like it's a common problem. It shoots very accurately and when the few shots that go off as should, it functions very smoothly. Im very excited to finally add this gun to my family of firearms. Any suggestions?? Please respond.
