Opinions from Kahr arms semi-auto Thompson owners

[M1 C FAN]

So I am looking at purchasing a Thompson for my collection. Not owning a money tree I need to settle with a Kahr arms semi-auto. So I see some very vocal people who have gotten bad rifles. I know the people who are disappointed always are the loudest. What is the opinion of the Kahr rifles from those who own one??? Good, Bad and Ugly I would love to know.

If you're OK with used, there was someone on here (I think, may have been CMP) selling an AO Thompson semi a few weeks ago...

Would prefer new depending. I don`t want to spend over a $1000 dollars on garbage. Does anyone one have an opinion they are willing to share on the new Kahr Arms Thompsons?

Hmmm, in all my years I never realized used guns were garbage. Thanks for setting me straight!

My point was that 2nd handies or even non originals produced by others can be of good manufacture and not garbage, those that are not so well made usually go out of business pretty quick and always as usual there can be non original lemons to point out a lemon for you my friend brought brand new off the shelf Remington 700 in 22/250 it went back 3 times to the manufacturer had a new barrel fitted by them and so on. The shop that sold it custom builds 1/4 MOA rifles consistently but nothing they tried as well under warranty etc made that thing any better than a 5 MOA rifle and for a 22/250 thats garbage for a Kangaroo shooter. Gave it back to Remington brought another brand in 22/250.
A person may say a things garbage but you don't know how they shoot or in fact treat a weapon best to do the research on other gun boards or try and demo one in the U S you guys well can get just about anything even tanks to play with a replica Thompson should be easy to source

So she is not a Carbine She is a 16" Rifle for sure. No SBR... far too little patients to wait. But she has ran 500rds with 2 jams. My wife was holding the magazine each time it jammed. Very accurate wish it came with windage adjustable sights. she does shoot about 3" left at 25yds. But over all very happy with it.

She is a fun way to get rid of excess ammo. my only real problem was the first purchase. ordered from Pennsylvania. Got to my FFL OPENED IT UP AND ALL THERE WAS WAS THE RIFLE... NO MAGS, NO MANUAL NOTHING BUT THE RIFLE. SHOULD OF HAD THE 50RD DRUM AND 20RD MAG.
So Elk Country Ammo in PENN. Said they didn`t even open the case before they sent it?????? very busy they said. OK.... call Mark at Kahr arms they told me. Called and gave him my serial number and 2 days latter everything but the drum arrived. They told me it was on backorder and would be sent ASAP. I Have to say Kahr arms customer service was great just wish they had put the kit together right the first time. So haven`t had a chance to try it with the drum yet.

Its that "New Thing" RASelkirk which is good that leaves pristine sleepers for others to buy, like my Tricolore 1199 S Ducati 2012 model with allot of carbon fiber and Ducati engine performance upgrades yep it was second hand but had only done 1,500 KLm (932.0568 miles) in 7 years which I got for $30,000/AUD less than the new price yeah was a bit dirty & dusty but I can live with a bike thats done @200 Klms(124.274 miles)a year. It really sparkles now I'm so glad it was garbage 2nd hand gear............................
