Interesting......First thought is it is a financial risk, 20 years ago not so much, but today's market where black/plastic guns are kings it might be a little risky. The handgun hunting with single shot pistol market is so small, maybe he is wanting to re-introduce the old TC Icon bolt rifle, highly regarded, or wants to produce something else?

I used to have a bunch of TC receivers and barrels, miss some of it at times but never enough to buy back some of it. I wish him luck.

41 Mags rule, Baers rock!

He may well be buying it for the name. It's at least as big and recognizable a name as Auto Ordnance, for example.

And he may well have gotten what he got for cheap.

The Contenders have a following in the NFA community as suppressor hosts and SBR platforms, but that's an even smaller and more specialized niche than handgun hunting.

Other than the name and hopefully "technical packages" , I can't imagine there's really much of anything left at this point?
