Gunsmithing Thompson Center announces the acquisition of Green Mountain Barrels

[sirhrmechanic]

Neat news today... Thompson Center Arms (which recently went 'back' into family ownership) has announced that it has acquired Green Mountain Barrels.

For precision stuff, I don't think GMB is a major player. But for AR's and certainly for the muzzle-loading world, they are a mainstay.

T/C has always been a great company and a great innovator. And for us muzzle-loader builders, GMB is a definite go-to.

Probably going to be a great marriage!

Cheers,

Sirhr

I'm still waiting for the new Encores to hit the streets to see what realistic pricing will be.

I missed my chance to get the 460 S&W before they stopped being produced.

I kind of wish they would bring back the 'original' Contender, too!

I've had one since the '80's and they are amazing guns!

Cheers,

MGM Match Grade Machine in Utah makes great barrels for the TC's.

I'm a big fan and have 4 Contender frames, so much fun and a real challenge to become consistent at distance.

John Scandale of Keystone Accuracy used to use Green Mountain Barrels in AR builds. Not sure what he is doing these days or which barrels he may be using. Supposed to shoot pretty good. .22LR also.
