TCA 25th Anniversary Event
« on: May 03, 2011, 06:44:39 AM »
Is anyone here going to this event in the middle of August (2011)?

Think it is in Maine? 
Also believe dinner, shooting, sales/trades and a factory tour are involved.

Good time to meet each other.

GranpaMike

Your post is the first I have heard about any TC event.  If it was a little closer I'd be interested but Maine is a long ways from I-dee-ho.   ;D

TCA (Thompson Center Association)

I am sure most of you know these things.
It is the 25th year of this group.
ED (the sponsor) of this forum and has been a lifetime Officer of this group (I believe).
He is planning on being there (from Oklahoma).
TCA has a quarterly magazine (One Good Shot).
TCA usually has a special barrel offering to it's members every quarter (since Remington took over this has been up-in-air pending some re-organization).
My favorite TCA barrel was from last year, a 21" 357 Max Triangle shaped barrel.
Join the TCA, the magazine itself is worth the fee, and sign up for the 25th Anniversary event by 31 May 2011.

TCA has a quarterly magazine (One Good Shot).

Its last issue appears to have been late 2008.

Is the Thompson Center Association still functioning? Not really clear from its website, http://thompsoncenterassoc.org

I have not missed an issue since I joined.

Just got the 2011 Q2 "One Good Shot" about 4 days ago.  That is why I started this thread.

You are right about the website, though, think they have a hard time keeping someone to keep it up.

My favorite TCA barrel was from last year, a 21" 357 Max Triangle shaped barrel.

Do you have a picture you can post of this triangle shaped barrel?  I am curious what it looks like.

Are these special barrels typically Contender barrels, or do they sometimes have Encore barrels?

I suppose the situation with the TC custom shop will effect the TCA's ability to offer specialty barrels.
