That is an example of Thompson greed. Nobody put that much money into a WH 28 (hopefully) but someone is obviously looking to cash in on the current prices of (as Arty would say) "real" THompsons.

Roland is correct with his numbers. I would estimate the "C" to be a little more (maybe 1k?) but that is based on what Kahr does with the upcoming new production"C" drums.
15-16K should be fair, however - if he opens it up, he will probably get 19K for it ... due to the Thompson greed. Sad - but true. I suppose it depends on what you can afford and how bad you want it.
If it was me... I would pass. It depends on how you value your time. You could easily put together that package for quite a bit less. If it is burning a hole in your pocket and you really want it, then go for it and don't look back. Truth be told - that is probably a 25K gun in a few years after the new C&R ruling.
Where is Ron when you need him?!?!!?

Don't just stick to UZI's(which are great guns in themselves)!!! As our wonderful Thompson guru PK says - "There really isn't anything that quite rivals the thrill of a Thompson."
I have many C3 items in my collection from MAC on up. The Thompson is ALWAYS what I come back to. It just does it for me... I suppose I cannot explain it....
