The Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1 Wastelander (part no. T150DC8) is a semi-automatic .45 ACP carbine that faithfully carries forward the look of the classic Tommy gun in a modern, civilian-legal package. Built with an 18-inch finned barrel and a pinned Cutts compensator, this carbine brings the iconic silhouette to the range without the legal complications of the original select-fire guns. An aluminum receiver keeps the fixed-stock carbine manageable to carry and shoot, and it ships ready to run with both a 20-round stick magazine and a 50-round drum. Whether it is range time, collecting, or just enjoying a piece of firearms history, this Thompson delivers the classic experience in a semi-automatic-only carbine.
