Thompson Contender Collection - Part out or sell as set?

[mikestesting]

I'm going to be selling my Thompson Contender collection (1979 receiver). Do you think I should part it out or try to sell it as a set?

Any idea what the whole package would be worth?

Barrels are as follows from top to bottom:

7mm T/CU - 21 inch
.375 JD Jones - 14 inch with scope
.221 Fireball - 14 inch
35 Rem "Super 14" - 14 inch
7MM T/CU - 10 Inch
44 Mag - 10 inch
41 Mag - 10 inch
Colt 45 - 8 inch (included brake makes 10 inches)

I always get a little nervous when I see one receiver and a butt stock and pistol grips. I'm not sure I'm up on current law but I keep rifles as rifles and pistols as pistols just to be on the safe side.
Anyway, it would be best to keep one complete pistol and part out all the other parts. Barrels and such are easy to sell.

Absolutely. Thompson Center Arms actually fought the ATF and won in the Supreme Court. The ruling was you could have the parts to make an illegal configuration as long as the parts could also be used in a legal configuration.

And, btw, I will only use the butt stock in conjunction with the 21 inch barrel. Just wanted to clarify that

Put the 21"barrel and rifle buttstock and the long forend together as a firearm and sell the rest as accessories. That JDJ barrel holds a premium as stated in my pm.
