Home Page

This is Doug Richardson’s Web Site dedicated to the Thompson Submachine Gun and Colonel Thompson’s Auto-Ordnance Corp. and features books, drawings, parts, accessories, receivers, and much more.

This website contains miscellaneous Thompson information which is

thought to be helpful and informative. Although it includes all the

publications available and product and other news from time to time,

it is not meant to be a Catalog or intended to provide ordering

information for the many Thompson products we offer. So please

order from the catalog which includes ordering information and much more

information regarding my Products.

Order only those items shown in the catalog & those new product items

not yet in the catalog but shown & priced on this website. If you know

what you want, you don't need to have a catalog because I will quote the

prices and shipping if you call.

We do no custom work.

THOMPSON CATALOG:

The catalog is 54 pages of Thompson items and information. Products include reprints of original Thompson catalogs, handbooks, manuals and drawings; books written by Doug Richardson and others, videos, semi-finished display receivers, after market parts and gun smithing tools designed by Doug Richardson, newly manufactured replacement parts, barrels, compensators, sights, vertical foregrips, surplus parts, etc.

Also included are semi-auto receivers, bolt handles and some parts for the Numrich/Kahr semi-auto. These are Thompson items which, for the most part, are available nowhere else.

This Web Site includes just a partial list of items available in the catalog.

Catalogs are $3 when shipped with an order or $5 if mailed separately within North America or $10 elsewhere. Prices and specifications are subject to change at any time without notice.

To order a catalog, just put a $5 bill in an envelope with your name and address on the outside.

Please don't write me a letter. Don't write anything. If a $5 bill falls out of an envelope, I send a

catalog right away no matter what was wanted. If you include a letter, it goes onto the "read

when I get a chance" pile. This is just one more short cut to enable me to get caught up.

We wish we could give them away but they cost that much to make and mail.

NOTE: Catalog (19 Dec 07): This website is not a catalog. I'm sorry I can not send out free catalogs because I would soon go broke and have to increase other prices to cover them. My policy is that if you have a catalog and have studied it and have a question, I will be happy to help. But please, if you don't have a catalog, don't ask anything because I don't have the time to read it to you. Most questions are answered in the catalog. Please enjoy my websites if you have a computer. About 50% of my customers do not own a computer so I can't maintain both a catalog on the website and a hard copy. It would take too much time. No one offers the Thompson stuff I do. If you are serious about Thompson, my catalog will surely save you money in the long run. I must spend my time trying to catch up after 3 years of being unable to see well enough to make receivers. It is not fair to the people who have waited so patiently, to spend my time on one to one catalog readings.
