No more local rifle manufacturer. T/C arms will be closed on this date. Employee said maybe down the road you might be able to do a call-in for a custom barrel. All repairs will be a ship in to the plant. Don't know where it will be. All on hand stock at Fox Ridge is 20% off.

Wow! Does that mean my Pro Hunters are now collectibles??
Wasn't TC bought by the same group that bought Remington, Marlin, etc.?

Closed as in out of business or closed as in relocating?

T/C was bought by Winchester. The employee that I spoke with said that down the road they may open the custom shop again, make a special run of 2 calibers, maybe like 300 of each caliber, sell them off and then make 2 more runs of different calibers and run that route. Don't know if they'll open the doors again. About 415 people out of work.

Ken, Do you mean Winchester/Olin... Or Winchester/FN? Funny, I thought that it was Smith&Wesson that bought T/C... Well, I guess my Contender collection just went up in price...  Edw

Aww I wonder what all the TV hunters are going to do now?
Not gonna be able to say "Got this big deer with my T/C whatever" anymore.
Thats OK, I got sick and tired of watching those guys running around with their Prohunters with the stupid big T/C sticker on it anyway.
I'm glad

Pretty sure it's only the store that's closing, the factory isn't changing - at least that's what I've seen bouncing around the net.

They paid for so many hunting shows and gave away so many of their rifles that it's a wonder they lasted this long.

T/C was bought by Winchester. Better check your sources a bit more closely. "Winchester" has not been in business for many years.

Harrumph!!!
I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

Does this mean there won't be any more of those danged shows on where the hunter only uses a T/C rifle?
Yipeee!
You'd think nobody ever hunted anything with a Ruger, Remington or Winchester - only T/C's from blinds at corn - fed whitetails... (I got to watch a lot of TV while healing up from surgery, the T/C hunting shows about drove me nuts. Maybe getting so agitated helped the healing process?)
I do like my 15 year old T/C traditional muzzle loader though, very good on mulies.

Well what I didnt like about the T/C's was what I stated above. On the other side of the coin I have had a T/C Contender and while it was nice...it was a SINGLE SHOT!...of which I am not a fan of. Heres my current T/C that I wont be getting rid of anytime soon. ![[Linked Image]](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q247/masterhunter1/Chrisshouse010.jpg)

I'm glad Umm, I would say stop watching the shows then. [quote=Tom264]Well what I didnt like about the T/C's was what I stated above.

So, you're glad a company is laying off people because you dont like the people on tv who use their product....you are not a fan of single shots....but that pretty picture of the T/C you wont be getting rid of anytime soon.....is a single shot isnt it? You seem to be talking in circles...having a few cold ones tonight?
