Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Thompson T1100D made California-legal?
Goodland Guns makes this rifle California-compliant by installing a featureless grip wrap before shipment. This modification removes the pistol grip feature as defined under California's assault weapon regulations, allowing the rifle to ship and transfer legally within the state. Note that stock manufacturer photos may not reflect the CA-compliant configuration — your actual firearm will arrive with the featureless accessory installed. Plan for an additional 5–10 business days processing time before initiating your DROS at your local FFL dealer.
What magazines are compatible with the Thompson 1927A-1, and what capacity is allowed in California?
The Thompson 1927A-1 accepts both stick (box) magazines and the classic drum-style magazines. In California, only magazines with a capacity of 10 rounds or fewer are legal for purchase and use. This rifle ships with a 10-round magazine to comply with California law. Standard-capacity magazines (20-round stick or 50/100-round drums) are not legal for sale or transfer within California.
Is the Thompson T1100D suitable for range shooting, or is it primarily a collector's piece?
The Thompson T1100D 1927A-1 Deluxe is genuinely functional as a range rifle, not just a display piece. It feeds reliably with .45 ACP ammunition, and the pinned Cutts compensator helps manage muzzle rise during firing. The Lyman adjustable rear sight allows for accurate target shooting at typical pistol-caliber carbine distances. That said, its walnut stock, historical styling, and weight of approximately 13 lbs also make it a standout collector's firearm. Many owners enjoy it both ways — at the range and as a centerpiece of their gun collection.
