Thompson Center

[Mtns2hunt]

Has anyone seen new products on the shelf? I read a lot of hype about what the company is going to do but nothing in stores
My understanding was that product would be on the shelf by October. Nor reading anything about delays

Haven't seen anything whatsoever. I love my older TC guns but I wouldn't buy a gas station hot dog from Gregg Ritz. Dude is a known poacher and a stain on the hunting community.

 

[Mtns2hunt]

Don't know anything about Ritz. Just interested in TC products.

I think Ritz reacquired TC back in May

They're probably too busy answering angry emails about Gregg Ritz, LOL.

yes Greg Ritz and a few of his acquaintances re-purchased Thompson Center. You can hop on YouTube and find updates directly from Greg Ritz.

New products will be manufactured in New Hampshire and Indiana. From what I’ve been told they’re about three months behind where they wanted to be.

I thought it was odd when he made a big deal about picking up a bunch of left over gun parts and worn out machines. That’s the type of thing guys without any money or investors do.

I’d love to buy a new Encore, so hopefully they figure it out.

My local gun shop in Michigan finally has some new Encore frames,

 

[Mtns2hunt]

I Just received my new TC encore. Can't tell any difference from the old. Have not shot it yet.

400.00 from Haus of arms, 480 with new tech stock. I will know more after I do a trigger job.

I’ve had one on backorder for a while now. Hope to see it soon.

Midway had a couple of frames in stock a week ago.

Only Browning: I would suggest calling Haus of arms.

My local shop had a new tc encore it didn't last 3 days . I tried the trigger and it was better and they have a treaded barrel now.

 

[Mtns2hunt]

Well, I put a barrel on my new frame. Sear will not hold. I guess know why everyone is pushing trigger jobs. Was not expecting this.

yip, trigger jobs well worth it. I got mine through Bellam's TC and was really happy with it. That was 2012 but he's been advertising in last few years (email) so pretty sure he still offers them.

When you say it wont hold, do you mean when you cock it, it wont hold? If so you need a washer on your grip bolt, it is allowing contact, and prevents it from going full cocked.

 

[Mtns2hunt]

I'll try the washer. That's something I had never heard before.

Trigger job is not something I am worried about as I have worked on my old encore trigger group. Just surprised it would not come to full cock with out slipping.

Frames seem to have been available for a bit now. I have been getting notifications daily that Haus of arms has frames in stock. I got one a month or two ago. Finish wasn’t quite as nice, a bit blotchy. Trigger cleaned up fine with a Bellm spring kit and a light stoning.

No worries just hope it helped, I learned this when I put a new Boyd stock on my Encore frame, I had to add another washer to get “clearance” for the hammer, lol I searched on the net and found out it was a “thing” lol

I've got an old frame that needs either a new barrel for our state's new "straight wall" season or sold. Its been collecting dust in the gun safe for years. has anyone seen new barrels in stock yet?
