Auto Ordinance Tommy gun

colep2165 · Feb 17, 2026

I'm selling my Auto-Ordinance Tommy gun, it shoots really well and is an awesome piece to own. I sadly have no room for it anymore and would like to sell to someone who will take proud ownership of it. It is Semi-Automatic, shoots 45ACP and comes with the violin case, (1)20 round stick Mag, (1)50 round Drum, and the third hand that makes it easier to put the drum on and take off. I have only put 40 rounds through it at the firing range and cleaned it after before stowing it away.

Hello: Is this the all steel 13 lb. Heavy gun ? Or the aluminum light weight model? What is the capacity of the drum? Thanks.

When I was about 13 years old, my Dad and I went to a collector's house in Lincoln, Montana to see his collection of single shot High-wall and Low-wall Winchesters.

He was an old fella, 70's-80's, very friendly, and after he was comfortable with us, said, "I'll show you something you'll never see again."

Very solemnly, he led us to a small back room that looked like his den or office with a built-in knotty-pine "breakfast nook"-type bench in one corner. He lifted the cushion, then lifted the seat lid, and removed a blanket-covered bundle out very carefully.

It was a viola case containing a Thompson with all the goodies. (Tommy guns don't really fit in a true violin case.)

I remember him saying he'd bought it as a result of a magazine ad he saw that said it'd be good for ranch work, but it was too heavy, and problematic for scabbarding on a horse. (Viola case would not serve for that.)

He also said that he heard at one point that the Government suddenly wanted to know where they all were, and "I got a whole wall of Winchesters they ain't gonna know about either." Same damned thing to him.

He was right.
