New Gun

Went to gun show today and purchased a Thompson Cap Lock? 50 cal with a Green River target barrel. Appears to be in excellent condition. $100 - did I do good?

Hi Reddog...

Nope. Methinks you did GREAT ! :D

Either the barrel or the gun by itself is worth more than you paid for both! Congrats and enjoy! :)

If thats a Green Mountain barrel .. only one question do ya want your 50 bucks back ..and some boot money ? you did great .

Green River Rifle Works (GRRW) made target quality barrels too, but correct me if I'm wrong, they are no longer in business. You can see a couple of their vintage rifles on this website. They're numbers 503 & 504 near the bottom of the page:
