Fair price for Colt lower internals

[Roland the Thompsongunner]

Hello, I have a complete set of Colt Thompson lower internal parts that a friend is interested in but not sure of value. I have all the parts including the mag release and selector switches all excellent to mint condition. I have not been able to find many of these listed for sale so want to be fair. Thanks for any help

You can't go down to the local "Colt's" parts hardware store and price them.

I would say $1500-$2000.

Best of Luck

It looks like, if you look really close on the mag release, you can see evidence of the hole being filled in on the paddle area. It looks like they couldn’t blend the checkering right after filling in the hole and you can see where the hole was. That makes me suspect the control levers as well.

I have this mag catch with particular knurled extension, on a early 1928 (not A1), is it usual ?

Paul for that Savage serial number range, a mag catch with no hole is correct to that gun.

I spoke about the extension strips

Hi paulsavoy,

The extention strips as you call them are very common for the early Savage Arms no-hole magazine catches. There is a difference not only in the finish of the Colt era and Savage Arms no-hole magazine catches but also the line over runs as shown in the picture you posted. While the coining of the Colt era no-hole magazine catches is not always perfect, they do not have the exaggerated line over runs as found on many of the Savage no-hole magazine catches. Many enthusiasts think that the no-hole magazine catches found on early original Savage Thompson guns are left over Colt parts. This is not true. Same for the milled ejectors. Savage Arms made both of these parts as part of the original Auto-Ordnance and Savage contracts that stated the Savage production guns were to mirror the Colt guns. Of course, this changed as Auto-Ordnance placed more and more orders and the war in Europe expanded.  

Note the rocker pivot and safety on S-32850 feature the early Savage Arms knurling - diamonds in. 

All good stuff!!!

Why do so many people think that Savage Thompsons were built with Colt parts?

I have not seen any evidence of any kind to support that idea, and lots of evidence that contradicts it.

If I see Colt parts on a Savage at this point, I'm 94.7% sure that they were swapped onto the gun at some point over the last 70 years.

I'm 100,000,000 miles away from having any kind of expertise on the topic, but I have seen about 10 or 12 minty looking early Savage Commercials at this point and they all looked identical - all Savage parts with kind of a dull finish.

My Savage has a Colt buttstock, but it belonged to a police department that also had one other Thompson -  see if you can guess what kind.
