Hate to say it, but TC break opens are pretty much "Fudd guns".
There are more showing up at gunshows (shooters getting old/dying off).

I don't think too many old farts are gonna plunk down the $$$ for any new TC.
If the company is to be bought, they're gonna have to have something to appeal to younger shooters.

What were those plastic stocked rifles...........Venture, Compass?
Aren't there enough entry level rifles out there?
