Frequently Asked Questions
How is this Thompson rifle made California-compliant?
Auto-Ordnance Thompson rifles sold through Goodland Guns for California delivery are configured with featureless accessories — such as grip wraps — that bring the firearm into compliance with California's assault weapon regulations. Because manufacturer stock photos may show a standard configuration, the actual firearm you receive will differ slightly in appearance but will be fully legal for CA residents. This compliance process typically adds 5–10 business days to your order before your local FFL dealer can begin the DROS/background check process.
What magazines are compatible with the Thompson 1927A-1, and are high-capacity magazines legal in California?
The Thompson 1927A-1 accepts standard Thompson-pattern stick magazines and drum magazines. However, in California, magazines are restricted to a maximum capacity of 10 rounds. This model ships with a 10-round magazine to ensure compliance. Purchasing or possessing magazines over 10 rounds is not permitted in California, so buyers in the state should only use compliant 10-round magazines.
Is the Thompson 1927A-1 suitable for home defense or range use, or is it primarily a collector's piece?
While the Thompson 1927A-1 is a beloved collector's firearm with deep historical roots, it is fully functional as a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .45 ACP — a proven self-defense and target-shooting cartridge. Many owners enjoy it at the range for its unique shooting experience and historical character. Its 16.5" barrel, manageable recoil, and pinned Cutts compensator make it a capable and enjoyable shooter, not just a display piece.
