Details are sparse. There are two models, one with a push button detachable stock, one with a normal stock.

All the classic details of the time honored original are reproduced in today’s semi-auto Thompson. The frame and receiver are machined from solid steel. The wood is genuine American walnut. This .45 caliber carbine features a 16 1/2″ finned barrel, compensator and is available with a blued steel receiver. This configuration is our most popular.

They are apparently “coming soon” and no price is listed.
