My credit card was charged over a month ago(not that I care), But usually they charge your card when the barrel is shipped But being this is thru the TCA I figured they had to pay T/C first.
I think they said expect shipment in March/April???????
Well anyway---------It should be worth the wait!!!!!!!

Ed came by and drop off the 257 Roberts TCA barrel. It will take him alittle while to get them out. Also, received a copy of the One Good shoot. Real nice color pictures in  this 20TH Anniversary spring copy.The barrel offering will be R-55 semi-Auto Rifle / 17 Mach  2. The Raffle will be a 12" octagon 223 Rem contender barrel

Received my .257 Roberts barrel today--Did not get to open it up yet but will tomorrow!!!!!!! Cannot wait to shoot it though!!!!!

Bubba,
TCA is the Thompson Center Association-It is a club for T/C fans and the .257 Roberts was a special run barrel made available for members. They offer member only barrel offerings throughout the year. It is a nice organization. Check out onegoodshot.org if you are interested

TCA barrel is the barrel offering by the Thompson/ Center Association(TCA). Each quarter TCA has a special barrel that members can buy. This last month was a 257 Roberts 26 inch blue Encore barrel.

My barrel arrived Friday also.
As for the TCA, it's great for the collector. A great quarterly publication full of info and history; but the website is a little weak.

I opened my .257 Roberts barrel today and found a 26in Heavy Barrel instead of the tapered barrel that the order form stated?????
Anyone else get a heavy barrel???
I will have to call ED tomorrow being I was expecting a taper not a heavy barrel.

I sent my barrel back and was given a full refund. The TCA didnt ask any questions--------Now this is the kind of club I am happy to be part of.
Any TCA members who missed ordering the .257 Roberts barrel offering may be able to get one now. Just call Ed and ask him if it is spoken for yet.
