There's no shortage of work when rebuilding a firearm manufacturer from the ground up. The first step in this process was visiting the Smith and Wesson headquarters to get a detailed list of machines, products and tooling that needs to be shipped back to New Hampshire. In this tour, we were able to get an inside look at historic Thompson/Center firearms as well as the machines used to build our new product lines.

1. This man actually knows T/C’s history and products. 2. He has a mission. As long as the quality is kept high, T/C will thrive again.
Thanks for the support!
@@TCArmsCo I am a very long time Contender shooter, have owned lots of T/C’s products, and look forward to introducing my grandchildren to the new T/C!
I only hope they go back to making side hammer bp rifles, love them, an hunt with mine, praying.
I'm excited that TC is in great hands and is coming back. Thank you.
@TCArmsCo thanks for bringing it back to New Hampshire! I remember the good old days driving down to Rochester to buy barrels at Fox Ridge.
This IS some of the Best News I Heard in YEARS!
I agree I was just thinking the other day about I wish they were back
Absolutely
You made the right decision to get it back to New Hampshire and away from Massachusetts.
Isn't New Hampshire a liberal state?
@@utcnc7mm It is, but in a different way from Massachusetts... at least for now. Vermont and NH used to be the gun friendliest states in the Union, then VT fell to the NYC champagne socialists that relocated there. NH perseveres in being gun friendly, although the Dems, no doubt, scheme to change that.
@@TwinklesTheChinchilla you would think one of those Southern states may have offered tax breaks or something of that nature to get his business to locate there.
@utcnc7mm Texas, and I think Tennessee has done just that. We are gun friendly. I would stay away from Houston and Austin. The DFW metroplex would probably be the best location.
@@marcustalley7987 True, most of your Southern states will be very Pro 2A
SO YOUR TELLING ME THAT THE CONTENDER IS ON THE MENU AGAIN? God bless and all things for His glory!
I can’t wait for TC to come back alive again.. 😎👍🏻
Their customer support was second to none!
Thompson Center arms were the closest thing to modern classics as one can get.
What happened to smith and wesson?
They moved the headquarters to Tennessee and most of production to Georgia. But part of doing that they discontinued alot products so they wouldn't have to move tooling.
Let's GO!!! How early can we get our orders in??
I have a .32 Cherokee, .36 Seneca, .45 Seneca, .50 Renegade, .54 White Mountain Carbine, a G2 with 6 barrels, and an Encore with 3 barrels. Thank you for not letting this iconic company die!
Bring back the T/C Contender.
i wish they would but prob not gonna happen
I’d like to see em bring back the Hawken & Tenegade muzzleloaders!
@@hatchetjackphillips Bring back the whole line. Pennsylvania, white mountain. We've seen a surge in interest in muzzle loaders since Montana added a traditional muzzle loader season. Whenever we get and old T/C in our gun shop it doesn't last long. People remember the quality and happily pay for it.
Had a TC renegade would love to see them come back
I have an original contender in 357 mag. But i can not find any barrel for it.
When you reintroduce the Contender, consider making barrels in many of the wildcat cartridges developed for it by JDJ, SSK Industries, etc. There were whole lines of cartridges developed for peak performance in the 14" T/C barrel. Pistol brace?
As a Gunsmith and Gun Nut this makes me So happy to see this happening.
Same!
Same!!
I second that motion!!! 🤠👍
It’s so great to see tc being saved. What a true patriot.
From a loyal T/C fan. Thank you for not letting this historic brand die.
I am a huge TC fan and I actually started unloading some of the stuff that I had duplicates and triplicates of because the prices are in freaking sane Right now. 444 Marlin barrels over $700 on eBay 4570 barrels going over $1,000. I sold a ported 44 Magnum that I reamed out to 444 for more than I paid for the entire gun 10 years ago. I'm very excited that there will be OEM barrels available again, but at this point I'm sure they'll be priced the same as a MGM or a bullberry, so I'll probably still end up getting aftermarket. If you guys want to really stand out, you should invest the time in engineering to come out with a smokeless muzzleloader barrel. I've had two built by two different people, both off of 4570 barrels and I would love to see a Thompson Center factory take on the smokeless muzzleloader. I've got over $1,300 invested in each smokeless barrel. I would also like to see some of factory sub 17 caliber barrels. Nobody's done that yet. Like a 14 squirrel or any of the other 25acp based mini cases. I'm excited! I'm going to have to get another safe.
Best news I have ever heard. Thank you for saving T/C!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE produce that falling block in modern cartridges!!
I love my encore. It's very accurate but the falling block would be nicer on the bench
Yes, please!!!
Wow!! In today’s political climate with so many crackpots wanting to ban guns, you have the kahones to buy a firearms co. KUDOS to you sir 👍🏼👍🏼
@@garyguerin5806 And keep it in the Northeast..? Ironic that the first colonies to to fight for freedom have been leading the charge to destroy it and the Constitution. Vermont is too close to the beating heart of Marxist revolutionaries. Go West, young man.!!
I second this. Make one in 308. It would be cool.
This is outstanding news ! We all as gun owners , hunters and enthusiast wish you and Thompson Center nothing but success !
It's so refreshing to see passion rather than just seeing profit margins.
The board does that. 😑
Bring back the 7-30 waters!
Glad you saved her.
I was worried that S&W might have scrapped everything.
Glad to see it was carefully mothballed waiting for anew owner.
I don't understand why they discontinued the brand before selling it.
I am thrilled everything has a new home and is in good hands.
This is Incredible news!!! I have been a TC loyal customer and fan and can not thank you enough. Customer for life !
Thanks for watching!
@@TCArmsCo
Bring them back to market and we wont just be watching, we will be buying.
I will pay for Made in the USA.
I'll take a 45/70
300 win mag
450 bushmaster
Can't imagine what a huge undertaking that move and organization will entail!
Your aggressive timeline is amazing! Now I will have to inventory all my T/C
barrels for both the rifles and handguns!
I know that I will be needing multiple receivers.
Do you plan on making any of the receivers in stainless and if so do you have any idea how soon?
Thank you for this huge investment of your time!
Bad decision on s&w to discontinue TC I’m glad to see it coming back. Thompsons an American name that needs to live on. Hats off to you my friend.
Can’t say I agree. Good on S&W to pass the stewardship on to such a deserving individual. You can’t do everything. Strong relationships in the market and competitors is good for everyone.
Think about it, it could have been the best thing that could have happened to T/C. Smith would never build a product off quality over gross profit.
Thank you! Was very disappointed when S&W stopped production of the T/C brand. Love my TC’s. Can’t wait for the products to come back to life!!!
Thompson center forever. I have a treehawk. A black Diamond. A Impact. And a patriot. Love them all. Would love to get a contender if I could find one.
Over 40 years ago I shot A TC In competition I was fifteen My dad still has that gun with numerous barrels. Congratulations on your new endeavor
I have shot Contenders and Hawkins and all were top quality firearms. The last TC I shot was my friend's Encore 300 Weatherby Magnum. We sighted in each other's guns before an elk hunt and it was excellent. I'm glad they're coming back.
I hope to see contender, encore, and the muzzle loaders come back! Huge fan!!!!
Good news and excellent review. Thompson Center is coming back.
It's a tough thing to bring TC back but with people who care & have the passion to do it right things will happen. God bless you all. 🙏👍
Was never a Thompson buyer but I will now this man knows what he’s doing and knows what he’s talking about. I’m so glad they got out of mass one of the most anti 2-a states in the USA I will be buying a new tc when they hit the shelves love this man’s vision
THANK YOU for bringing TC back to NH!!!!
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing, buying and supporting you as soon as products are available. This is huge!
Thanks for bringing us along on the journey
Congratulations on bringing back Thompson Center, I know it’s a long endeavor but it will pay off. Also New Hampshire was once the shoe capital of the US. There’s great machinist and great attention to detail folks who will make great guns for you.
YES!!! Not only will this bring back TC products, I can stop boycotting S&W for shutting down the brand! That's a win-win! I hope the Icon series will return!
Yes, when S&W shuttled TC. I was the same. I wouldn't have bought anything with their name on it.
Sorry but I will not ever buy another smith and Wesson product just because of what they did to TC .
I mean the Icon is a nice rifle but that's not what most people want from T/C. I want to see the Encore and Contenders again. The bolt action market is saturated - single shots are much less common.
@@neilis2405 yes,I want them to make a 45 cal. black powder barrel for the encore.
S&W didn't do that the people did it by buying all the cheap crap from cva and traditions
This is some of the most exciting news ever for T/C fans (like me)! It’s Christmas in August, New Year’s Day and the4th of July all together. It’s so nice to see someone with T/C in their blood acquiring the business. Looking forward to more of the same that made T/C the great company it used to be along with new products, improvements to old products, and new finishes (e.g. Cerakote) to keep the brand alive and thriving. Best wishes for success in your future endeavors.
I remember being a young lad and shooting my grandfather’s contender a lot. He won rimfire silhouette shoots with a .22 LR carbine set up. He was definitely upset when the contender was discontinued, and I believe if he were alive today that he would be extremely happy to see T/C getting back to their roots. I now own all of his T/C inventory and needless to say it was a pretty impressive collection between contender accessories and muzzleloaders.
Happy to see things coming back!
We're glad you get to enjoy your grandfathers collection!
I have Contender carbine barrels in .22lr. Interesting note all barrels of a given caliber were button rifled and cut down lathed lugged and chambered after. The rimfire barrels had the same 1/12" twist rifling as their centerfire .224" barrels had and shot the 60gr Aguila SSS load like a LASER.
Ugh. Move to a 2A friendly state….having said that, I’m glad TC is back in the game. ❤
They will be fine if they dont build an AR-15 or get into tactical combat crap. Stay with fine sporting arms
Hopefully T/C will commit to 100% Made in U.S.A. It breaks my heart to see the M70 being made in Portugal and the M94 being made in Japan.
Well, we still have HiPoint, and Kel Tec. 🫢🤐
Really great news. I purchased a TC rifle the end of 2020 and was gut punched when I heard S&W discontinued the TC product line just months later.
...50 years ago, this month - in August 1974 I bought a T/C Hawken in 50cal @ Edelman's Sporting Good Store in Wayne, NJ...enjoyed the Hades out of it...cast my own round ball & Maxi-Ball projectiles using, IIRC a Lyman mold /handle combo and a, again IIRC, Lee melting pot...shortly after I moved from NJ to the free state of Florida I needed quick money and pawned it and subsequently forgot it...I'd love to see the Hawken brought back...loved the set triggers - after you set it - as soon as your brain registered that your eye was in target - the shot was downrange!!! Thanx for bringing T/C back to life!!!
Bought my house from my Dad, believe Edelman’s number is still written on the wall in the basement somewhere 😂🤣
@@thedude5869 ....IIRC, Leslie Edelman went to have a part in starting up Kimber...
My Grandpa died suddenly on Aug 4th of this year, three days after this video was released. His sister had worked at TC for over a decade, and if I remember correctly, part of their employee discount was 1 free frame or 2 free barrels per year. She was not particularly interested in shooting or hunting, but since my grandpa was an avid outdoorsman, he took advantage. He eventually built up a large collection contenders, G2s, and encores, along with a ton of barrels, and a Hawkins. He taught me firearm safety and marksmanship with a stainless contender .22lr. Since I’m his only grandchild with any interest, the whole collection is coming to me.
This video came out 3 days before he died. I just wish I saw it and showed him before he went.
On the upside, it looks like I have some money to spend on building the collection again. I hope they make a short threaded stainless .300blk barrel!
This is so exciting! I have a .54 Hawken, .54 Renegade and a .50 Renegade. My dad still hunts turkey with his TC New Englander 12 gauge that he bought new in the ‘80’s. I’m so happy and excited that TC is back!
This video genuinely brought tears to my eyes. I'm so excited to see Thompson/Center Arms being resurrected by a real, enthusiastic gun guy!
I have an T/C Encore Pro Hunter and a few barrels for it. I'm glad to see you bringing the company back, not only because the parts availability will benefit me, but also because it's a really cool niche that's effectively (at least as far as I'm aware) unfilled at the moment.
Good luck on everything.
Congrats!
Buying an action and barrel at a time is MUCH easier than all at once.
First thing I noticed was your love for the industry, I'm really happy to see TC coming back!!
Had a TC Contender chambered in 458x2 in the early/Mid '80s
Crazy you are bringing it back to NH, an anti 2A state of epic proportions
I`m glad to see this happening. The best of luck to you, and your employees.
@TCArmsCo I'm a longtime fan of T/C Arms and so happy to see this awesome brand brought back to life! I own a Renegade 56 cal SB, Hawken Cougar 50 cal, Contender with 410 & 40 cal barrels and Triumph 50 cal. The Triumph coupled with the Leupold muzzleloader scope is a tack driver consistently punching the bullseye at 100 yards. It is now the only gun I use to hunt whitetails during firearms season in MA & NH. Can't wait to buy one of your new products!
I bet the folks in New Hampshire are happy
Can’t say as we notice
Hadn’t realized TC went away till I was showing a friend my little Encore rifle .45 Colt. He was so impressed he just had to have one, but had zero luck finding a receiver online. I looked myself and he was right… impossible to find. Glad to hear there’s a pulse back in the company!
TC was once a great company! My Renegade shoots as good as the day I bought it. Hopefully the quality control and customer service will be like it was back in the day!!!
Thank you so much.
It's like I took the wayback machine and went back five decades+ ago, and I'm ten again. The selection of "tools" for the do-it-yourselfer is awesome!! Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic video. I hope the next iteration of TC fixes quality control which was really slipping when TC went under. Got nervous when he talked about just shipping out old inventory quickly. Plus, the low-end hunting rifles have gotten A LOT more competitive since then. I loved the vid though and am excited to see what TC becomes again. Will definitely buy one.
Thanks for the feedback!
To be fair though, he also said that a lot of work had to be done before they could start using the existing stock of parts.
It is exciting and also very refreshing to see TC return to the market! Kudos to y'all for caring enough to do so and also to S&W for not just liquidating inventory and equipment. Clearly, when they shut down operations for the TC line, they were intentional of protecting acquisitional value. I am so grateful to all involved for making this happen. My first muzzleloader was a TC Renegade .54 Cal. That thing was built like a tank and was a great hunting rifle.
This announcement absolutely made my day! I love TC Arms and have purchased (3) New Hampshire-made Renegade Hunters for myself and and my sons over the years and treated myself to a New Hampshire-made 209 Encore muzzleloader about twenty five tears ago. The Encore is incredibly well made with deep mirror-like bluing and the best trigger of any firearm that I own.
I have taken more deer with that gun than with any other gun I own. I kicked myself a few years ago for not buying an extra centerfire barrel or two for the Encore when S&W was starting to flounder with the TC line It is heartwarming to know you are going back to New Hampshire. Good luck. I am looking forward to becoming a loyal customer again.
I was in the welding room in the old facility in the early 2000s doing Encore, Contender and Omega barrels with Tim. I was heartbroken when I heard T/C was leaving NH. I am glad to hear the brand is being reborn and going home.
This is WONDERFUL news!!!! I have long mourned T/C'S demise. I wish you all the best my friend. God bless you and your enterprise!
Thank god someone qualified has stepped up to the plate to rescue a great company! I also want to thank those smaller bespoke companies that have provided all of the TC owners with barrels of high accuracy over the last few years supplementing dwindling stock of barrels. I also hope that the specialty company of Fox River will also re emerge with many of their fine products.
TC Venture .308 Win owner here in South Africa 🇿🇦💪🏾
@selfresponder6043 I also own a 308 venture, it's a nail driver. I'm planning on keeping it for the rest of my life. 🇺🇸
Absolutely prefer my TC VENTURE 308 over others I own!
This is really good news! As an owner or a TCA Encore I was really dissapointed S&W discontinued T/C Arms and parts were doomed to dry up. A great hand to the brave man who decided to step in and save it!
YES thank you for not only bringing Thompson back , but moving it out of Massachusetts. As a T/C contender since 1982 again THANK YOU
Welcome back T/C. I'm a huge Contender shooter/collector and black powder Scout pistols in 50 and 54, Hawkens 45 flintlock and New Englander both 50 and 54.
I can already see people will complain about whatever price you sell them. It's the old "I remember when..." Wish you the best of luck.
Actually SSK is making a Contender clone and barrels so there is something of a ceiling and a floor. This was always a niche product. An absurd amount of money for a single-shot pistol but every extra caliber made the gun a much better value if you bought and shot a lot of different barrels.
and they will pretend that they haven't noticed how other stuff doubled or tripled in price in the past 3 years
Doesn't matter because people mostly bought the really cheap crap from cva anyways
I bought a T/C Pro Hunter short barrel and love it. My youngest daughter shot her first deer with it. And while practicing cocking and de-cocking it the hammer broke. I called T/C and the gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and said after 20 plus years of working with T/C he had never heard of that. Got a new hammer and all good. New sub…. Good job and good luck.
Also, what a lot of people don't understand is that when you take inflation into account, the price of a lot of guns has actually gone *down.* For example, the model number for the Savage 110 is actually based on it's price at launch in 1958: $109.95. In 2024 dollars, that's $1,195.28. Today, the MSRPs for new-production 110s start at $639.
Congratulations Greg! Glad to see you bringing TC back to Rochester! Get a good team, folks that WANT to be part of the TC legend and I know you'll make a fantastic comeback for the brand!
As a PA hunter, please bring back the TC Hawken Flintlock. I have the 25th anniversary 50 cal built from a kit. Love that gun.
Just hearing about this for the first time. I had no idea TC had gone out of business in the first place, but glad to hear you will be returning! Fall is only a couple of weeks away, so maybe not too early to start holding my breath. I have a 14" Contender I bought used in .223/5.56 and someone gave me, if I remember without digging it out, a barrel in 30 Herrett, plus of course a .54 Hawkin rifle.
I built a TC Hawken kit in 54 Cal. Sold it, and have regretted doing so ever since. Please start making that kit once again and give an old man the chance at redemption. 😇
I built a 54 Hawken in 95 it'll be pried from my cold dead hands
I'm was almost giddy watching this video. I love the fact that an iconic company is rising again. I just put out a video on my Contender with the 10 inch octagon 30 M1 barrel. It was a blast getting that one back out and shooting it again. I'm thrilled with the prospect of perhaps getting other barrels for my Encore too. I'm hoping they are not at out of reach prices. I was disappointed that I never got to purchase one of TC's bolt guns. I can't wait to see what the future has for us with this company.
Thank for sharing this video.
I'm proud owner of some T/C fire armes .It's really great to see it back!! 👍
WELCOME BACK❗️and the best of luck on a great line of Firearms 🇺🇲
I've been out of the firearms hobby for a while, didn't even know T/C was dead. Thrilled to hear someone with passion/enthusiasm is bringing it back.
I'm glad to See T.C. re birthed . I bought my first frame in early 2019 at Tulsa, Oklahoma Gun Show. I have several barrels both in rifle and pistol lengths.
As a true firearms enthusiast, lover of engineering, and history buff, you have no idea how thrilled I am to see this brand return. There are a couple of suggestions design wise that I believe the Encore/Contender could benefit from and would make sense. I hope to see these out soon.
I bought my first TC, the TCR22 Ruger clone right before they shut down. Great build quality and design!
Glad to see you back.
Those were fine affordable rifles
Very cool. Its awesome to see an old, defunct New England gun company not only get resurrected, but also stay in New England.
I'm highly excited that TC is coming back. When I was in the market for a 308 bolt action a couple of years ago. I searched all over the internet for a Compass II. None to be found. I was forced to buy a Ruger. My 6.5 creedmoor Compass II was probably the best bolt action for the money. When TC was still in business.
Tell me about it I got back into hunting in 2019 after a decade and bought a tc compass 2 in 6.5 Creedmoor even though I don't hunt with it anymore got in to the short mags it's still one of my best shooting rifles with 140 eldm n gets more paper time than everything besides my 308
I have owned shot and hunted with Thompson center for years. Glad you are bringing it back to life.
VERY excited! As a decades long Rochester, NH resident and formerly a gun shop owner in the area for over 17 years, this is indeed good news. Not only for Rochester, but the industry as a whole.
Nice to see you're still alive and kicking. You built a great business that has done very well over the years.
Great to hear that T/C is back! Can't wait for product to be back on the shelves. Best of luck!
Great news, I've never owned a T/C but I REALLY wanted one of the pink and black Encores. Now that we own our own land I have a place to hunt and I want a pink and black Encore even more. Super excited, thanks to the folks who brought this brand back!!
All i can say is wow!!! So glad TC will be back. Had several TC rifles and loved them. My favorite one I have is the TC venture, such a great shooting rifle. Really hope you keep us updated throughout the progress!
I've personally never seen the appeal of a single-shot handgun, but good luck on the move! I can certainly say that moving away from MA is a positive aspect.
Single shot handguns end up covering a weird niche. There's the pistol hunting group. Then the hand loaders, who want a longer barrel to get some more uuumph from pistol carts.
.357 in a 10" barrel, in a product that is more svelte than any revolver, has some merit.
Obviously not for a lot of situations, but has merit. All that said, getting a handgun that is relatively easily convertible is a nice thing.
That said, I don't think I've said anything you didn't already know.
Hunting and silhouette pistol competition.
My brother has a .308 pistol. He used it for silhouette targets.
It's a niche thing that some of us just want to have. I remember seeing them in many hunting magazines when I was young and always wanted one. By the time I was in a situation where I could buy them, the availability was gone. I could only get the Encore and in 300 WM and a 30-06 barrel separately. But not the pistol, I was into the target shooting phase of the firearms hobby.
@@SlavicCelery... Definitely the longbow and recurve of the gun hunter. Make it a bit more sporting.
So blessed to witness this history. S&W made the right decision to come to TN, now we invite you to move to a state where 2A is in our DNA.
This is fantastic news! My first TC must have been a very early production firearm. It was a Seneca but it was marked Hawken on the barrel. The ramrod thimbals were soldered to the barrel. I eventually bought a Renegade in .54 cal and still have it as well as my favorite, an Omega X7 in 50. I hope you are able to rescue the company. My wish would be for you to develop a smokeless version of the omega. That would be the perfect muzzleloader for those of us who enjoy hunting with a front loader. Good luck!
I'm with you on a smokeless-fueled muzzleloader. I'm not sure there will ever be another one from a major gun company; though, for liability reasons. More than likely, some genius would eventually decide to put 150 grains of smokeless whatever in it and their family would sue the gun company out of existence.
Can't tell you how much this does my heart good to see! What a historic company - I thought it was gone forever. Thrilling to see someone passionate about the brand, the future, and the past. Will be praying for your endeavor and looking forward to purchasing Encore barrels in the future!
I am so pumped for this mission!
God speed gentlemen.
I have never owned a Thompson Center firearm, but after seeing this video, looking up the history of the company and learning more about the contender... I will be looking forward to buying one of your products. Thank you for saving the company... We have lost far to many.
More jobs for New Hampshire! Thank you and welcome home!
This is so great! Can't wait to see product rolling out again. Congratulations.
Can’t wait to see what products you bring back. So glad to see TC making a comeback.
Glad to see this revival, Greg!
Thanks so much for the video. Hope you will give some thought in producing a rifle in 6.5 Grendel. The only factory offerings
in a Bolt gun are from Howa and Ruger. Best of Luck....Past and Future customer
Thanks for watching. Stay tuned!
holy crap we need to have some archivists go into that prototye/historical collection and make an encyclopedia of it, thats insane, all that gorgeous old iron. congrats on reacquiring it and best of luck.
Fantastic news! I bought my Contender back in 75, still a favorite of mine. Are you going to make barrels for the Gen 1 & 2 Contenders?
I am so glad that someone appreciates T/C. I bought an encore muzzleloader in .45 cal the second year of production. I dont know that I have held quality in that fashion. Greg, thank you for your appreciation of a quality american made product. Please produce muzzleloader barrels that can use smokeless rifle powder. Many master gunsmith's produce these barrels.
Glad to see Thompson coming back. We want the tc back all with iron sights and drilled and tapped. We want to see TC to put a single shot rifle out there. With iron sights like CVA and tradition does. Drilled and tapped. We want to see a 7/57-8/57-300 WM-338 WM-30.06-308-243-270-25.06- 35 Wayland-375 HH-416- Rigby--7mm RM -458 Lott. Stamped 458 WM-38/55- lot hand load the 45/90 . 6.5/55 Swede-22 hornet-plus others. All iron sights. Many people don’t like scopes. Just drilled and tapped. You build we will buy it.
Don't forget the straight walled cartridges like 350 Legend or 360 Buckhammer so you can hunt deer in straight wall states.
Yes I’m dying for nice wood and iron sights. Something that looks sturdy and retro.
They could bring the TC 87 back with a trigger that wasn’t a mechanical nightmare, and they would probably sell

This man is making history. Helping the true patriots uphold the constitution.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed.”
Bought my Super 14 44 mag with the TC 2.5x scope in 1981, still in the collection. Love TC/Encore! Happy to see you making the investments in continuing the brand. Being a retired business guy I'm wondering why Smith wouldn't just lease you the space to operate doesn't appear that they are expanding within? Maybe they're considering moving to a more 2A friendly state as well? Again Thanks and Good Luck!
Just looked it up yes S&W is moving to Tennessee good for them!
As a proud owner of TC products for some 40 years, I can attest to the innovation and quality that is Thompson-Center. I'm so glad to see them rise from the ashes.
I’ll buy one
SO happy to hear this, I am retired and if I lived in the area I would come and work for free just to help you get this fantastic product line back in existence, this is very exciting !
