The semi thompson prices are all over the place depending on who made them and if they have the removable buttstock. When I was looking for a 1927 a couple years ago the low end was in the $700-$750 range for a vg/exc condition one, and average was about $800-$850. I ended up getting a new Khar made one with the removable stock for $1100. Check gunbroker to see what they're going for now.
Semi Tommy?

I had heard that some of the auto ord guns weren't made very well at times. The one I got was made by kahr and was one of the first ones that had the return to the detachable buttstock like the 1921 or 1928. So far I haven't had any issues with it except that I couldn't focus on the folded rear sight so I replaced it with an original 1928 rear sight. The cheapest place I've found for mags is what a country. The military mags will need the mag catch hole lengthened a bit to fit the semi receivers. I posted some pics of a jig to make the process easy somewhere here.
Here's the thread with the magazine jig. http://www.gunco.net/forums/f108/auto-ordnance-thompson-1927-t1bsb-37815/

Moleman & Black Blade it looks just like the one in your pics, vertical fore grip and compensator.
How are those removable stocks set up? Can they be used on any receiver or just certain ones?
Pookie, yes it's set up to take drums, it actually comes with a 50 & two 30 round mags, one surplus that he says fits tight & a new one that came with it from AO.
A lot of good info, I'll let you know this weekend if I get it or not

Yeah really, this is one of those that needs to be short

Well whether I like it or not, I got it.
It has 2 30 rnd stick mags, one looks like it came with the rifle from the factory and the other is a surplus that looks rough & fit tight (had to mess with it a little to get it to insert all the way) and a 50 round AI drum.
The only thing I can complain about so far (other then the weight ) is the PO neglected it a little, that weird oval shape clip on the right lower that holds the pins in had some lite rust that started to pit the metal. Other then that it just shows some normal handling wear, you know a few scuffs here and there.
I'll get a pic up then.
Anyone got info or a site that shows how to take the lower apart? I'd like to give it a good cleaning.

That's what I might end up doing if I don't find any good info, I already had all the wood off it to make sure there wasn't any rust hiding under it and that's also part of the reason I wanted to take the lower apart, to make sure there wasn't any hiding in there too. Altough if there was, it would most likely take a life time to eat through that thick steel
