T/C service - 11/16/2006 9:28 PM
IIRC, someone mentioned hearing T/C customer service was going downhill. I'm glad to report this might be an exageration/isolated case. Being a moron I managed to lose 2 of the dovetail forearm screw locks. The nice lady took my name and address to send me two at no charge without commenting on my moronishness.

thats good......but i called them today to ask about locking bolts for a 22lr match barrel. they do not send them out any more
only option is to send them the frame/barrel. i was told by the tech they have a new owner now.

I will see how they are. I just sent in my favert barrel a S.S. 10 inch 357 magnum barrel. It had a duo ring mount on it. I shot it at an opossum the other night and the scope and base poped off. come to find out the 4 screws that held it in place was only holding on by a few treads each and they all let go and damaged the tread holes and pulled up some metal around them. I just sent the barrel abd base back to T/C and they got it today.
I asked if this barrel could not be fixed if they would replace it with an encore pistol barrel in 209x50 or 357 mag or a contender in 17 hm2. lets see what I get back

I was out hunting this morning with my 15" 209x50 and shot a med. 6 pt buck with it. during the shot The thimble broke loose and when I removed the ramrod it fell to the ground. I called T/C and asked for a new one and screw they said they will send it right out. I asked them about my 357 mag barrel I was told it they where out of stock on that barrel and it will be a while, I told the guy on the phone I will take a substitute barrel I was told that it had to be a contender barrel so I told him the only other barrel I would want is a 17 HR2 he said OK and that was that, Now Lets wait and see what I get in the mail and when I get it.

Check your lock up bolty things. It sounds like that 30-30 is a bit thick and the 7mm needs an oversized hinge pin.
