The Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1 T1-14 is the shorter-barrel take on the classic Tommy Gun carbine, chambered in .45 ACP and fed from a 20-round stick magazine (Auto-Ordnance part no. T114). Its finned barrel measures 14.5 inches and carries a permanently affixed Cutts compensator that brings the working length to 16.5 inches, which is what separates the T1-14 from the standard T1 carbines. The fixed American walnut stock and vertical foregrip keep the original Chicago Typewriter look, while the blade front and adjustable open rear sights keep it practical on the range. It suits collectors and Thompson fans who want the 1927A-1 profile in a lighter, shorter package.
