Auto Ordnance Thompson M1 SBR .45 ACP 10.5" Barrel with 30-Round Stick Magazine

The Auto Ordnance Thompson M1 SBR in .45 ACP brings iconic American firearm heritage into a modern short-barrel rifle format. Built on the legendary Thompson submachine gun platform, this semi-automatic carbine delivers the heavy-hitting .45 ACP cartridge in a compact package that's maneuverable in tight quarters without sacrificing stopping power. The 10.5-inch barrel gives you genuine Thompson performance in a form factor suited for home defense, close-quarters work, or collectors who want a piece of American gun history with practical utility. Paired with the included 30-round stick magazine, you get classic Thompson ergonomics and dependable feeding in a rifle that turns heads and gets the job done.

This is a true short-barrel rifle—not a pistol, not an AOW—so it comes as a complete, registered package ready to own (subject to NFA requirements in your jurisdiction). The walnut furniture and black finish honor the Thompson's iconic look while the fixed battle sights keep you on target without unnecessary complexity. At 10.5 pounds and 32 inches overall, it's substantial enough to shoot straight but compact enough to stash where it matters. Semi-automatic operation means every trigger pull is a fresh round—no funny business, just straightforward shooting.

Whether you're a Thompson fanatic who finally wants the SBR version, a .45 ACP purist looking for a rifle-caliber platform, or someone who simply appreciates American gunmaking, the Auto Ordnance Thompson M1 SBR delivers both nostalgia and function.
