TC Omega Z5 value?

[phade]

My fil won a TC Omega Z5 with blued barrel and the laminate thumbhole a few years ago in a raffle. He is left handed and cannot shoot it. Whats a fair price for it new in box? Thinking about buying it from him.

I thought the thunbhole stocks in the omega were universal and the hammer is centered to be ambidexterous

[phade]

No this isdefi.tely a right hander. The stock has the notch for cheek wielding on the left side (for rh shooting). It is a blued barrel...apparently not many were made in this combo.

Call t/c and get a lefty stock!!!

ok my mistake. I never saw one. I am thinking it is an aftermarklet stock. I sold a z7 blued regular stock for 200 earlier this fall. That is a start

I am pretty sure the Z5 only came in the fiberglass stock. A laminated one can be after market. As for TC and a left handed one they don't make it to the best of my knowledge. You would be very lucky to find any lefthanded thumbhole from any manufacturer.

Value 200-300 depending.

No its not aftermarket. It cam right from tc. You can google pics of the stock. Most of the time the stoxk is paired with the ss barrel. This one is the blued barrel. Its bnib.

Just like this but with the blued barrel...straight from TC.

From your search engine that is a different omega from the Z5. The Z5 is the most basic omega, no fluted barrel and a composite stock that is most times called a tupperware stock. People fill them with caulk, lead shot or what ever. My best guess is that your stock on your gun has been swapped out with another TC laminated stock.

I looked back in TC's book a few years and don't see that laminated stock under the Z5 line up. I do see it listed under other Omegas.I don't have the part numbers listed with me at this time. If you click on the Z5 you can see all the models listed..

some of the TC's were made with special runs for stores with stock options not normally available through TC. My Encore was this way

[phade]

Yeah, the TC box is labeled Z5 Omega laminate thumbhole...right on the factory tags. We literally just opened the plastic to the manual this past weekend. The guns not even been touched except for the two of us to look at.

I figured the combo wasn't common...expecially when paired with a blued barrel. This has to be a 2009 or older model because he won it in 2009 sometime.

the z 7 was th ebasic one

200. Fair for both. He may be able to get 250-300 somewhere else but It's a toss up. I have same ml with the ss barrel, bought @ dicks a few years ago for 300 with rebate and dicks sale price. Great ml for the $
