Description:
This is Not a Thompson. It’s a copy. From a collection in Davidson County, Tennessee, comes this very attractive, distinctive product from our neighbors in East Tennessee, a Volunteer Arms Commando Mark III semi-auto carbine that approximates the legendary 1927 Thompason Machine Gun. According to Fjiestad’s Blue Book, Volunteer Enterprises in Knoxville, TN, operated from 1969 until some time in the 1980s. This is one of their Thompson clones; not, mind you, quite like a Thompson since the bolt handle is on the left side and the construction is substantially different. From this one’s 62000 range serial number, it was manufactured in March of 1984, since we received a same range mate direct from Volunteer Arms in February of that year. Barrel is 16 1/2 inches, steel with heat dissipation rings anchored in a wood grain polymer vertical pistol grip forend. Main receiver is blued steel, and the lower receiver is texture coated stamped steel. Weight empty is a hefty 9 pounds 3 ounces. These carbines accept .45 ACP Grease Gun Magazines, still readily available and relatively inexpensive. Capacity is 30 rounds of .45 ACP Ammunition. Buttstock is American Walnut with a 15 1/2 inch length of pull. Forend is matching T114 Deluxe type walnut. Overall length with stock installed is 36 1/2 inches; and overall length with the buttstock removed is 27 inches, so it’s okay to leave it disassembled if that’s what trips your trigger. Surface detractions are minimal, only operation wear on the bolt and edges, and faint scouring on the buttstock. We rate it as Excellent, 90 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean and correctly proportioned. We have test fired this weapon with Winchester Ball ammo, and no hitches.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
