Auto Ordnance Thompson 45Acp 16.5 Marines 250Th 30Rd

The Auto Ordnance Thompson .45 ACP 16.5" is a commemorative rifle built to honor 250 years of Marine Corps history. This isn't just another Thompson carbine—it's a custom tribute featuring distinctive two-tone Cerakote finish work: Midnight Blue and Stormtrooper White applied to a steel receiver, paired with period-correct walnut furniture. If you're a Marine veteran, collector, or someone who appreciates historically significant firearms, this purpose-built set delivers both function and meaning.

The carbine itself carries the weight of tradition in its details. A 16.5" smooth barrel chambered in .45 ACP pairs with fixed blade front and battle rear sights, giving you the classic Thompson profile without optics rail complications. The fixed walnut stock and horizontal foregrip provide authentic handling, while the custom receiver work—featuring Marine Corps iconography rendered in USMC Red and gold—sets this apart from standard production guns. At 38" overall and 11.5 lbs, it balances historically accurate ergonomics with practical field weight.

Magazine capacity rounds out a complete package: the rifle ships with both 20 and 30-round stick magazines, so you're not scrambling to source drums or hunting compatible mags. This commemorative set also includes a matching Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 pistol in .45 ACP with custom Dress White and Dress Blue finishes, plus a 7-round magazine for the sidearm. Whether you're displaying this as part of a collection or running it at the range, every component reflects deliberate craftsmanship tied to Marine heritage. A one-year warranty backs the build.
