Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1580:
Description
This lot features a single heavy-walled, octagonal .40 caliber replacement rifle barrel manufactured by Green Mountain, specifically designed for a Thompson/Center (T/C) black powder muzzleloading rifle. The barrel measures approximately 32 inches in length and is constructed from unfinished steel with a hooked breech plug for traditional stock mounting. Technical specifications include a percussion nipple bolster and a single welded lug on the underside for a wedge pin. The top flat is fitted with a specialized black-finished Bo-Mar adjustable rear target sight, which is clearly stamped BO-MAR and PAT. in capital letters. A tall blade front sight is set in a dovetail at the muzzle end. This component is intended as a high-accuracy upgrade for the Thompson/Center platform. Note – As a black powder firearm component, this item does not require a background check.
Dimensions: 32″ Long
Condition report:
The barrel shows significant patches of surface oxidation and light rust concentrated along the top flats and near the breech. The bright steel surface exhibits minor handling marks and light scratches throughout. The Bo-Mar rear sight remains in functional condition with most of its original black finish intact, showing only light edge wear. The bore appears relatively bright, though it may require cleaning due to the exterior oxidation. The percussion nipple shows evidence of use but remains intact.
