Fit and compatibility

Built for Thompsons chambered in .45 ACP, this stick magazine follows the original feed-lip geometry and length intended for that platform. The .45 ACP cartridge remains a proven defensive round with manageable recoil and wide availability — pairing it with a period-correct magazine preserves handling characteristics and ensures reliable feeding in both semi-auto and select-fire style platforms.

Durability and construction

Although models vary, the Auto-Ordnance lineage means components are produced with an eye toward original specifications. Expect stamped-steel construction, robust springs, and a finish compatible with classic steel receivers. For users executing precision shooting drills, consistent spring tension and precise follower alignment reduce double feeds and stovepipes under rapid-fire strings.

Practical applications

Use this magazine for accuracy-focused practice, vintage firearm preservation, or as a serviceable spare for range days. Its straightforward design makes field maintenance simple: periodic spring checks, light lubrication, and inspection of feed lips will keep it performing. For collectors fitting multiple Thompsons variants, the “Various” model designation indicates broader compatibility across Auto-Ordnance reproductions.

Midway through your parts list or loadout planning, consider the value-to-performance ratio: at $57.59 it strikes a balance between authenticity and affordability. View product details and pricing
