Original Item: Very Rare! When Auto Ordnance Corporation received the first government orders for the M1928 Thompson; the corporate offices were located in New York City. Therefore, the very earliest receivers were marked with this address. Very soon, AO Corp. moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut and changed its address on the Thompson receivers. New York address receivers are very rare and collectors rarely have an opportunity to buy one.
IMA has found a very few M1928A1 receivers with the New York City address of the Auto Ordnance Corporation. These receivers have been cut according to BATF regulations. The set includes the long center section with all marking intact, the receiver rear, and a section that includes part of the ejection port. The front end or ?head? of the receiver that the barrel screws into is not included. Most are in un-issued condition. We have only eight of these receivers.
