Thompson Center Arms SOLD

There's hope for T/CR22 ... :) - https://www.guns.com/news/2021/05/04/s-and-w-to-sell-thompson-center
  • Smith & Wesson ... announced it intended to divest the company of the Thompson/Center Arms brand in the near future ... to better focus on core S&W brands.
  • "Thompson/Center is a beloved hunting brand with a longstanding heritage, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition," said Mark P. Smith, president and CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. "Thompson/Center Arms' loyal consumers should rest assured that they will continue to receive the world-class firearms, accessories, and customer service support that the brand has been known for since its founding in 1965."
  • Buyer for the T/C brand has not been identified
  • Thompson/Center was founded 55 years ago in Rochester, New Hampshire and over the decades has concentrated on single-shot pistols, rifles, carbines, and shotguns as well as muzzleloaders and the short-lived R-55 series semi-auto rimfire rifle. Since it was acquired by S&W in 2006 and moved production to Springfield, Massachusetts, T/C has expanded its catalog to produce bolt-action rifles such as the Compass, Dimension, Icon, and Venture lines.
  • In 2019, Thompson/Center reentered semi-auto rimfire rifle production with the new T/C R22 series rifles.

I just got an email today from SSK about some frames being available.

I had signed up with Huasofarms to be notified when SSK frames came in - in and out in minutes….. I missed it completely….


From hausofarms:

”What we had sold in 2 minutes, you are still on the list and will continue to get notifications. Yes these are for contender barrels. Marty”
 
I prefer the original Contender, even if limited to lower pressure cartridges.
It just looks better to me.
Didn't care for the look or feel of the G2.
Couldn't stand the TCR.
Be interesting to see what old and new stuff they make.

For the original Contender?
I just made a Kydex cheepiece for the factory Rynite stock, cheap and worked great.
Factory Rynite stocks were made by Choate, dunno if still available.

I sold a 30-30 Contender. Really didn't regret it, but would like to give the platform another chance.

I will always have my pro hunter but a pistol frame is what I want back. Figuring what cartridge isn't a bad problem to have

I have the odd shaped thumb hole stock. Or I'd use a stretch sleeve with the foam inserts
 
Would like to buy some more barrels for my encore and not have to pay 5-600 for a custom. Want a 357 mag bad!
 
America's gun maker, legacy continues.........sounds to me like some Americans bought it ;)
