Headspace is a problem easily fixed on TC Rifles.Mike Bellm sells washers to take care of this problem.I have bought Remingtons and Winchesters with head space problems right from the factory.I have had Contenders for 30 years and Encores for about 10.I doubt that they have any more problems than any other rifle.It is the luck of the draw on what you get with anything you buy.Anything man made can fail.It is too bad the gentleman who wrote this thread has gone through pain and misery because of this.I have always considered if you own and fire a weapon you should at least know how it works and how to check for any problems it might have or come up.It is akin to owning and riding a motorcycle.You best know how to work on it because they all have problems.Huntz

Stupidity left unattended will run rampant
Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
