Thompson Center arms is coming back!

Post by nutcase »

a former owner has purchased TC back from S&W and hopefully we will see the Contender and Encore back for sale!

Here is the announcement:

As I stated somewhere else. I reserve the right to be skeptical. Until we see product for sale it only means so much. MOA and RPM are owned by a friend and former competitor of ours. But alas no guns, parts or service are available.

Does this affect or include the SSK-50 receivers?

No, The original G1 contender's Patents had expired and the reason they were able to make the ssk-50. the ssk-50 is made by a completely different company from TC arms. This will affect the G2 contender and Encore (if they bring them back).

I agree! But we are going to have to wait and see what happens!
