A distinquished Gentleman was referred to me to assist in purchasing a Colt Thompson. He is 70, has the ability to purchase and is not interesting in waiting a long time and dealing with potential scammers. He understands the sticker shock, the NFA time out box, and is ready to join as a fellow collector. I am reviewing current listings, and have sent PMs, emails to some individuals. If anyone has a Colt Thompson they are ready to sell, or has leads on one please PM me. He is interested in a 80 percent gun or better. Preferably all original. Order of interest 1921A, 1921AC, 28 Navy Overstamp. Overall condition will likely be the distinquishing factor between the models. Photos of potential guns with descriptions would be step one, very likely him inspecting the gun step two, followed by payment likely on the spot, with NFA paperwork following. He is a VA resident, limited access to computers etc. If you know of something please let me know. Thanks in advance Sandman1957

Hi group. I am new to Colt Thompson's though I have covetted a Thompson since I went to my eighth grade Washington D.C. trip and saw an FBI agent demonstrate one; unfortunately, being from NJ, i never thought I could own one and always were told they were very expensive. Having moved to Virginia in 2002 (I wish i knew they were only 5k back then), I didn't pursue it. Anyway, I have a savage barrel, (had a 2nd gen cutts compensator on it) marked "S" and wanted to make sure that the barrel that I am comparing it to is a Colt barrel. The "colt" barrel has a mark to line up on the top receiver and has not other markings; i didn't know if my "colt" barrel has rounded enough edges or if the fins were the correct thickness (i read these got smaller as the serial numbers go up?). Were the "lines" only on Colt barrels and receivers? Thanks and correct me if I have made any mistakes.
