Say what??????????
« on: January 22, 2012, 09:23:23 AM »
RE: January 17, 2012 by Nick Leghorn at the Truth About Guns site and the SHOT Show.
 
New from Thompson Center: The Dimension Rifle
I posted about this yesterday, but a quick trip to the Winchester/TC booth jogged my memory and got me some great video.
 
Implies that Winchester now owns TC???   S&W sold TC to them???
 
Can anyone comfirm that?
 
No mention on either TC's or Winchester's websites.
 
What the h...........

Ladobe, my latest American Rifleman magazine has a small mention about S&W recalling all T/C Venture rifles made from 8/2011 and 1/2012 because of a sear problem.  I don't think S&W would be doing this if they no longer owned T/C.

Oh I don't buy it.   Who knows if this Nick guy is not just clueless.
 
Just wondered if anybody here had heard anything that is connfirmable.
 
S&W was talking to Remington about selling some of TC assets to them a ways back, as in certain operations, but never heard that went through.

Based on past experience with The Truth About Guns I"m not sure I'd believe them if they said water was wet....

Thanks for the insight Kevin... never read anything from TAG before.   But with this one it appears their choice of reporters needs an overhaul.   ::)
