The Auto-Ordnance T1 .45 ACP Bootlegger Bronze is a semi-automatic rifle that trades on one of America's most colorful eras—Prohibition. This isn't just a Thompson submachine gun replica; it's a piece of living history rendered in distressed Burnt Bronze Cerakote and American walnut. Built for shooters who appreciate craftsmanship, historical detail, and a gun that turns heads at the range, the Bootlegger combines period-correct aesthetics with modern firearm reliability.
The T1's design draws directly from the Thompson's golden age. Hand-engraved scrollwork adorns the receiver and trigger group, while the barrel is marked "Speakeasy" and the receiver carries "Bootlegger Prohibition Edition" and "Proof Tennessee Moonshine" engravings. The wood furniture is distressed and stained to match the overall aged appearance. Those details aren't cosmetic window dressing—they tell a story: speakeasies, fast cars, and the lawmen chasing them down backroad America.
Performance specs are straightforward. The T1 is chambered in .45 ACP and features a 16.5-inch finned barrel with a 1-in-16 right-hand twist. Overall length is 39 inches, and the gun weighs 12.5 pounds, giving it the heft and balance you'd expect from a full-size rifle. It ships with both a 20-round stick magazine and a 50-round drum, letting you choose between classic handling and extended capacity.
Sights are period-appropriate: a pinned front blade and open, adjustable rear. The fixed walnut stock and vertical foregrip keep you grounded, and the distressed Cerakote finish—topped with a clear coat for protection—looks like it could've survived a speakeasy raid. Whether you're a Thompson enthusiast, a .45 ACP devotee, or simply someone who loves firearms with character and history, the Bootlegger Bronze delivers.
| Model | T1-14C3 |
| Caliber | .45 ACP |
| Barrel Length | 16.5 inches (finned) |

| Overall Length | 39 inches |

The T1 is chambered in .45 ACP. It ships with two magazines: a 50-round drum and a 20-round stick, giving you flexibility between extended capacity and traditional handling.
The gun features a distressed Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish with a clear protective coating applied over top. The distressed look is intentional and part of the design—it's meant to evoke the aged, worn appearance of a Prohibition-era firearm. The clear coat helps protect the finish.
The T1 is equipped with a pinned front blade sight and an open, adjustable rear sight—period-correct designs that are easy to use and adjust for different distances.
The T1 is primarily a historical replica and range gun. The .45 ACP cartridge and 16.5-inch barrel are better suited for target shooting and historical appreciation than hunting or precision long-range work. Check your local regulations before use.
