Posted by Monica Arnold on May 6th 2020

(Greeley, PA) - Thompson Auto-Ordnance, maker of the famous "Tommy Gun" and other classic firearms throughout history, is proud to introduce the limited edition "Hail to the Chief Thompson." Production of this elaborately engraved Thompson will be limited to a numbered series of only 25 guns.

Each "Hail to the Chief Thompson" is covered in artful imagery showcasing the life of America’s 45th president, Donald J. Trump. On the right side of the receiver is engraved “45th President of the United States”, and the unique number denoting each gun’s place in the series. The muzzle depicts the White House. The foregrip has the president’s famous “MAGA” slogan. The pistol grip boldly states two of President Trump’s commitments to the American people: “America First, Socialism Never”, and “Promises Made, Promises Kept”. On each side are images of President Trump and the White House. Members of the First Family are engraved on both sides of the buttstock, along with the Presidential Seal and American flag. “Keep America Great” is engraved on the left side of the receiver, along with the President’s signature. Hidden within the ornate scrollwork covering the gun are many “easter eggs” related to various important events in the President’s life. The finish of the gun is tough Cerakote Armor Black, then hand polished and clear coated. Highlights are done in PVC Gold.

Each custom Thompson begins as a Model 1927 Thompson, with 16.5” barrel, chambered in .45 ACP. Every Auto-Ordnance Thompson is made entirely in the United States, from American wood and steel. The “Hail to the Chief” Thompson (Model: T1-14-50DC1G) comes with a 50-round drum and a 20-round stick magazine. MSRP for this limited series item is $12,500.
