APEXgunparts Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) This week we have had lots of activity in the warehouse here at Stone Ave.One thing we located was a box of used Thompson barrels that was in with 1918 BAR stuff.Take a look at these..dated 1976Has anyone run across barrels marked like this?They both have an attached base for a sling swivel on the left side.Richard Edited December 18, 2020 by APEXgunparts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Any markings or numbers inscribed on the breach end??? They are rifled steel barrels.I can find no other markings on them.However, they are not the cleanest either...just right out of the box.

TSMGguy Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 The site on the bottom Barrel resembles a Colt. Yes, and the barrel fins appear to be rounded like a Colt's. The top barrel seems to have the squared fins of a M1928A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt21a Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 YA mean a big demand..i can say this never in tommygun history in the last ten years or so more used pitted or rusted Thompson stuff come out for sale including guns with that tell all pitted dented or rusted mag thrown in for sale..yippee. a fair gun with a nice half blued dented mag. Was i the idiot offering great guns and all original with a oiler in the stock and manual and a nice new 20 rd blue patent mag with every gun. Or some had a nice original drum included. The days of the gentleman class sale are mostly gone. Toss it in a freaking box and get it the hell out of here.Or if they do take extra care toss in another 5 grand. YES 2020 and beyond. a new territory for collectors. Some may remember the days i speak,Sadly hardly anyone left that can still cut a deal like that or wants to.can't wait for the bottom of the ocean dug up 30 rd mags.Hardly used but for some corrosion. or the best really mint but has restored.Barrel. and missing a part and restored wood that does not match.The Humor for today RON K.

Bridgeport28A1 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 They would make an interesting paperweight but I also think they will likely be an expensive paperweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoda Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I seem to recall an article with a similar marking in Small Arms Review. I've seen it before, just can't recall for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Most of the Interarms stuff was not that great when it arrived and got picked over. Never heard what happened to any Thompsons that would be complete that survived and they would be samples anyhow. The only way anything entered the U.S. by direct channels with some form of paperwork would not be transferable unless some paperwork mix up.,I remember Stoners coming in said trans they ended up later post and later pre 86 samples.and a few FN MINIMIS 249 early guns pre 86.witha pair of Mag 58's After awhile so much history went thru my hands and things i saw it just passed on. Lugers and Mausers tossed in drums by the pound.And Thomspons chopped in barrels and the best of all a complete freaking rail car full of Thompson wood. and another full of M-14 wood and fiberglass complete buttstocks filled to the top and i asked how many are in there?don't know guess? you want them all. Was also offered AR-10 parts and hand guards and stocks the same way from the AIr Force. crazy and fun times for sure. And that time has ended, you will never see that back again in 2021 or ever.

As old parts dry up and become less available you'll see things from the bottom of the barrel for sale. It would be nice to see plenty of minty gentleman deals around but those sort deals have dried up in almost all areas of firearms collecting. R/s, Hiller.......................
