mp40shooter Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Years ago I purchased a Thompson parts kit from Sarco and now wish to sell it, but determining its value is difficult. The wood set is unopened. The metal parts, apart from the small bits, include a bolt with a spring-loaded firing pin, a receiver marked Auto Ordnance, and a barrel with a good-looking bore. The lower receiver S/N is in the three hundred ten thousand range. Can a member give me an idea of its value? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA amnesty Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I am a newbie with Thompsons, but you really need to post some pictures so the experts can weigh in and give you an idea. For instance is it a parts kit for a 1921, 1928, M1 or M1A1 and then is it a complete parts kit, are the parts all for one model or mix master, and of course what condition are the parts/wood in. Welcome to this board and take care my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w. Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 When you say the wood set is unopened, you mean you haven't even opened the box from Sarco? Gotta look at it, man. Sarco has always been a crapshoot for me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 All you'll get here are opinions from us, and we have no money on the table. Take great pics and post the kit on an auction site. It's the only way to realize current value. Set a high, undisclosed reserve if you're not sure you want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Post good pictures here. There are several members looking for a M1 Thompson parts kit. And yes, there are people here with money to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Right they are!Kay all the parts out without packaging.....then take several good pics including both sides of the parts, including numbers, proof marks, etc.If the wood grain looks special, give it a quick wipe with boiled linseed oil and wipe the excess off.Once we see whatcha got, we'll give you what the kut might sell for, and also what others are asking on the market now. Ultimately you'll need to dissect your own value from that, but if you entertain offers from ither board members you know itll go to a goid home and be lived!
