Auto-Ordnance, in partnership with the artisans at Altered Arsenal, presents two stunning commemorative firearms in a series called “A Salute To Service,” created to honor the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the Army on June 14, 1775. The collection features a custom-engraved 250th Anniversary Army Thompson Rifle and a matching M1911A1 Pistol, both serving as a powerful tribute to the unwavering dedication and sacrifice of American soldiers over two and a half centuries.

Both firearms are chambered in the classic .45 ACP and share a distinctive and durable two-tone Cerakote finish, with an OD Green upper receiver/slide and a Coyote Tan lower frame. The controls on both the rifle and pistol are finished in a contrasting Black Oxide, creating a striking and unified appearance for the set.

The commemorative Thompson and M1911A1 are intended as a lasting homage to the 250-year legacy of unwavering service by our nation’s Army personnel.
