S&W to sell TC
I offer this link as a news item, and because I couldn't find similar coverage elsewhere.
S&W announced that they will immediately cease all production of Thompson Center products and cancel existing orders, pending sale of TC. No buyer has been found yet, however.

The after market barrels, parts handguards and buttplates by Bullberry, MGM and B. Arthur has to have had a big impact on TC. I have several Encore barrels, only one a 22 Hornet rechambered to 22BR is a TC barrel.

I wish TC was still owned and operated by T/ C! They had excellent lifetime replacement parts warrantee's that they actually honored. After S&W took things over it all went south.
May just be a done deal for T/C in its entirety.

I've been putting off on getting a couple extra mags for my venture rifles I guess that is no longer on the back burner

Makes Smif look a lot like Cerberus.

TC has not been the same quality as they were before being bought by S&W. I hope they can find a good buyer who will return them to what they were

Reckon it's the end of Thompson/Center?

Hope someone picks them up. I have had so many great Thompson firearms through the years. Sad if it dies, very.😐️

Some discontinued T/C guns and accessories have become collectible and valuable. If they stop production altogether, won't that elevate the value of what's here now?

I love that "loyal customers will continue to receive...blah blah blah" and then "production will cease immediately and orders will be cancelled." Kinda hard to do both, ain't it?

I never quite understood the idea of paying more for a barrel than what I could buy an entire gun for. That said I did buy several barrels back when used barrels were easy to find & much cheaper. Don't know why the used barrel market dried up quite a few years ago. At least there isn't any extra Commiefornia fees or paperwork for each new barrel. That leaves me with a .22 LR, .223, 30/30, .357 Maximum & 45/70. I've had my eye out for 16" or longer .22 mag or .17 HMR but nothing near what I would be willing to pay. The 30/30 & 45/70 are long enough to use a shoulder stock.
