The .54 caliber Thompson Center barrel in the pictures below was on a gun I bought cheap years ago because I needed a stock for one of my Green Mountain barrels. It's been sitting in my closet ever since awaiting a project I'll never get around to. So it's available to the first "I'll take it" for the cost of shipping.

It was drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Those holes are no deeper than the holes for the factory sight, so it could safely be re-bored to .58. It may even be salvageable as a .54. Though It's pitted it may clean up reasonably well (the pictures make it look worse than it is). I have not tried polishing the bore - only ran a very oily patch down the bore when I first got it to stop any additional rust. It has the under rib, but no sights or ram rod thimbles.

Thanks for the great offer. I have a perfect place for it on a grandsons gun after it's bored to .58.
