I know it's been a week or so, but very good to see you back, CG!Out of curiosity, how do they run? Time was I was very tempted by their SBR Thompson line, but their M1 Carbine offering was one of the biggest POS I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, and that drove me away. (In fairness, every other commercial M1 Carbine I've had experience was some degree of crap, but the AO was simply beyond atrocious. Went original M1/M2 and never went back.)
Anywho, just curious. Thanks.
To the question at hand, the Thompson that I have is not made by Auto-Ordnance. They ended their involvement with them in 1999, and Kahr Arms took over.
So, mine is a Kahr Arms product, and I hafta say, it's a beaut! It jammed a bit when it was new, but a few dozen mags through it and that problem is all gone.
What I really like is to compete against anyone with a pistol on the 10-yard dueling tree at my range. I have it figured out that by starting at the top plate and just letting gravity drop the rifle with each shot, I can complete my half of the tree while the pistol-shooter is not even halfway down his. Takes like a ½ second per shot, done in less than 3 seconds. Then I like to piss them off (only if they're my buddies) by shooting all of their plates back over so they have to shoot them again.
The weight is such that there is virtually no recoil, but man, is it ever a heavy rifle, coming in at about 10 lubs...
