A few weeks ago I got my hands on one of the  .45 ACP Thompson Semi Auto carbines. The gun is obviously a semi auto copy of the iconic WW2 Submachine gun that every one has seen knows it on sight if not by name.  I have been curious about these for years ,I haveContinue reading “Auto Ordnance Thompson “SMG” Carbine”
