CTBowMan Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have a friend who has a 3 year old Thompson Center, only has been shot 3 times, it's basically been in his gun safe since he's shot it to sight it in. I told him that I was interested in getting into muzzleloading this year, and wanted to buy one. He said that he would sell me his for $250.00, and include the ammo/powder etc that he has. I'm supposed to go to his place tomorrow (Tue) to check it out. My ? is do you think this is an awesome deal as much as I do? and would ya buy it? -- Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WABS Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: Would ya? I'd recommend you pull the breach plug and look for any rust around the plug and threads as well as down the barrel. Even just shooting one shot through the gun if it wasn't cleaned correctly would cause problems over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waynemclain Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: Would ya? well said WABS....i would definitely do that.....if thats all good then it should be good to go....ive had my omega for 3 years and i really like shooting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBowMan Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: Would ya? Thanks for the info I'll make sure that I look it over very well. -- Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBowMan Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Would ya? Well I went and checked out the gun, and I passed on it. The gun looked as though he hadn't cleaned it very well. So I decided to spend the extra $$ and get a brand new TC Omega Camo w/thumbhole for $389 shipped, I thought this was a pretty good deal so I jumped on it, what's your guys take on that?? -- Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Re: Would ya? You won't be disappointed with the Omega You hardly even here any complaints about them. I have the Encore, but my buddy shoots his Omega, and I have also shot his quite abit, and wouldn't mind getting one in .45 cal. good luck with it too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBowMan Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Would ya? I found that gun on http://www.gunsamerica.com it was from a gun shop in Bad Axe Michigan, the only deal was if you use a credit card the guy charges you an extra 3%, so I just sent him a check. The guys name was Jerry, and very easy to deal with. There are other guns listed on there from other shops as well. Good luck! Oh I just want to point out that I am in no way associated with GA or any of their listings, I'm just your average guy looking for a deal, and I think I got a pretty good one, hopefully others will find a deal as well, so if for some reason you have a bad experience don't blame me. I would do your research before you buy from anyone on there just like you would anywhere else, everyone doesn't represent themselves honestly, and it's unfortunate. You can google the stores and find the address and phone numbers and call them directly, that's what I did. Best of luck, and I'm looking forward to getting my new Omega! -- Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
