No More Thompson Center Arms

A dealer acquaintance got a letter from a S&W V.P. that stated that S&W is divesting itself of their T/C division, cancelling all pending orders - so no more new T/C's unless some entity buys the brand & makes them again.

Or if that fire never happened!
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!
