VERY ATTRACTIVE AUTO-ORDNANCE BRIDGEPORT MODEL 1928A1 THOMPSON MACHINE GUN (C&R).AUTO-ORDNANCE1928A1S-528442 NAC45ACPMODERN; NFA; C&RCal. .45 ACP. 12-1/2" bbl with compensator. Classic 1928A1 Thompson machine gun with Bridgeport address on right side of receiver and typical model markings on left side of receiver with suffix "NAC" (Numrich Arms Corp). Lower assembly is a re-number to match upper assembly as is often found on guns which were imported after WWII by Numrich Arms Corporation. These guns were assembled expediently. This particular specimen has a Cutts compensator without markings, horizontal forend and a no buckle sling. It retains 1928 internal parts. It also includes one Seymour 50 rnd drum, three 30 rnd stick mags, two 20 rnd stick mags (one Seymour, other unmarked), and an orig GI canvas cover. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very good to very fine with a matte non-reflective orig finish on receiver with more lustrous finish on bbl and compensator, as is appropriate for this era of manufacture. Lower assembly appears to be a factory finish upon re-numbering and retains clear inspector initials, as well as the "S" (Savage) prefix to SN. Mechanics are crisp. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. Bore is very fine, shiny and bright. Magazines show some light surface corrosion, but should clean up well and appear fully serviceable as is. These Savage manufactured Thompson machine guns are the most durable of all the manufactured variations and as such enjoy a special popularity with both historical and shoot collecting enthusiasts. Really nice gun! 51805-1 JWK62 (19,000-24,000)
