Terrible Review of the Auto Ordinance 1927A1 Deluxe Thompson Tommy Gun

[@NormanPrevident]

When they changed to a closed bolt system for the modern production run, they altered the original way the gun was designed to function!

[@mikemccray9444]

Hey Jimmy the reason I suggested to replacing the original springs is that I watch FORGOTTEN WRAPONS and he did a series on the Tommy guns, and the one thing that he touched on was the rate of fire between the models of 1921 and 1928. The 1921 model had a rate of around 800 rpm and after the bolt for the 28 model took it down to around 600 rpm. So on the drum mags it would say on a plate 11 twist for the 1921 model and 9 twist for the 1928 model. So I'm thinking your spring in the stick mag and how far back the bolt is going the timing is so close. By the way the 1928 was a over stamp of the 1921

Thanks for the info!!

[@grappler240]

Wait... does that fire from a closed bolt!?

[@Gostwriterindisguise]

Yes.

these semi Thompson's are awful ,I wont work on them anymore . the feed ramps are different gun to gun, no consistency in manufacturing . also the magazine catches usually need to be fitted properly so the magazine locks in . broken extractors ,striker assemblies ,firing pins, sear interface and ejectors are all problems I've encountered with these semi autos. also the longer barrels on the semi autos seem to be prone to squibs . I've had a few with bullets stacked up down the barrel and one that split open. I'm not sure if its just the barrel length or a tight spot in the bore that causes this. they do look nice as far as the exterior metal and wood goes, otherwise its an expensive wall hanger.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

I'll second that expensive wall hanger!!! Thanks for watching, Jimmy

[@matthewsullivan5531]

My problem was that I had to drill the hole for the magazine catch in every magazine. If that hole is drilled even a fraction too high, the magazine will drop down and won't be able to grab the next round.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

Good info, thanks, Jimmy

[@tomw.6511]

GI Thompson mags work well with the 1927s, but you have to add some space to the locking hole with a dremel tool to get the magazine catch to lock in.

[@mikemccray9444]

Sorry guy but here's something you might try take the springs out so you can operate the bolt easier then you can operate your bolt and see how far back it goes to eject the old case and see where's it at above the magazine, that should say something I think

[@mikemccray9444]

Hey Jimmy we've talked before about your Tommy gun and about mine with the shoulder harness so I can swing my Tommy gun under my arm. I didn't like the original recoil springs and replace them with a easier to rack one's it also included a buffer pad just thinking that might help you out with the jamming because the originals were to stiff.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

I may try that if I don't throw it in the creek or trade it off first! Take care, Jimmy

[@dmmixsonjr.1922]

I would love to see the sling you have and how it was mounted on forend.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

@@dmmixsonjr.1922 I do not have a sling. Thanks for watching, Jimmy

[@mikemccray9444]

Jimmy I am sorry but stop and think, do you have to rack any. 45 semi auto pistol against your thigh and hip that springs are not right.

[@fakenews7266]

Have you tried a new magazine ?

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

Not yet.

[@fakenews7266]

@@jimmysautoparts2452 I would try that first , magazines can be the issue in most cases

[@roberts3942]

I hope someone "loaned" you this gun for the video.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

Nope, I own it. It may be headed for the trade pile.

[@SadHillscemetery]

Change the magazines.

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

Thanks, I may give that a try! I appreciate you watching, Jimmy

[@JAy-ct2bu]

It looks ridiculous with that 16-in barrel

[@jimmysautoparts2452]

Yep, I appreciate you watching, Jimmy
