Thompson replicas are a small corner of the market, which makes service parts for them genuinely hard to find when something gives out.
If you run one, buying the nozzle before you need it is the practical approach, because there is no equivalent to pull off the shelf.

Good to know before you buy
Availability is the real issue with this platform. Parts appear and disappear from distribution without warning.
Frequently asked questions
Are Thompson parts interchangeable with anything else?
Rarely. The platform is unusual enough that most of its internals are specific to it.
How long do nozzles normally last?
There is no fixed figure. Heat, rate of fire and how well the gearbox is shimmed all change it, which is why inspection at every service is the habit worth having.
What should I check alongside it?
The tappet plate, since the two work together and wear together on any platform.
