Oops, didn't mean to start a debate here guys. I guess to be on the safe side I'll call this barrel for "display/dummy" gun use only if I put it up for sale. Just want to get enough information so I can at least describe this kit correctly. Thanks for the input guys.

Any thoughs?

Thanks guys for the input, I didn't know I was missing the good rear sight. It has something "simple" on the dummy receiver right now. The dummy receiver I believe is a Phily Ord. STEEL receiver. That sucker is HEAVY! No way it is alumin. I think there is an ATF letter somewhere along w/ the kit that I saw that was addressed to Philly Ordnance, that's why I think it is their receiver. The only part that is not so "new" looking, that I can tell, is the barrel. It has some light surface rust and pitting near the wood handguard? areas, and although the barrel looks mirror and the grooves looks good, there is a "ring" about 1" behind the compensator? It's really hard to tell unless you look very closely down the muzzle of the rifle. One of the old collectors told me it's okay and should still be okay to shoot but it's more of a shooter grade barrel than a collector piece. The ring is created by 2 rounds hitting eachother and expanding? He said that's common. Is that right?

Can't really assign an exact cost to it since I got it along with about $5k-$6k worth of rifles and parts as a package. I see them going for about $1k at OOW? and that's not including the dummy receiver.

I have an USGI Thompson Parts kit that came along with a package I purchased. Can somebody help me ID this kit? I think it is a 1928. It's got a quick detach buttstock. I also have a Philly Ord.? (i think) dummy receiver with it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/wdigeorge/Thompson%20Dummy%20Kit/ThompsonKit1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/wdigeorge/Thompson%20Dummy%20Kit/DummyThompsonLeftFront.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/wdigeorge/Thompson%20Dummy%20Kit/DummyThompsonRight.jpg What is the kit worth? Thanks in advance.
