Smith and Wesson has stopped all production of the Thompson Center brand.
. . . It kind of makes you wonder what management is thinking.
This strangely makes me want a T/C.![]()
Hopefully whoever buys it will start producing the R55 line again.
I’m hoping for Ruger to pick it up but I doubt they want it right now. They have enough fun at the moment dealing with the Marlin revamp and ramp up.
I think both of my frames are from the original TC company, barrels as well. I would have to look about one of the barrels though. I do think I want to have a S&W made TC product just for good measure.
They're thinking exactly what all the other
management figures of these "investment
groups " that buy up businesses and don't
know anything about the business or the
customer base. They want to soak it for
the assets and go on to the next one.
They'll either do it surreptitiously if they
can, or they'll raid it outright and put the
padlocks on the door after the coffers
are dry.
I've seen it a bunch in several different
kinds of businesses and been a victim
of it myself.
The employees and the consumers are
always on the short end of the stick
