TC/Smith and Wesson summer Shut-down

[Stuart C.]

Hey,

I hope nobody's got repairs in to Thompson Center - like I do.

They're in the midst of the move from New Hampshire to Springfield, and closed for the next two weeks for a welll deserved summer break.

It was a bit iffy finding where my receiver was, but Jon at S&W came through.  Excellent service thus far as usual.  I'm going to stay confident the service will remain excellent after the relo - as it has been in the past.

I'll just shoot the big thumper for the time being.

I just sent a TCR-83 in for repair. Last year I shot a coyote with it with a barrel in 6mm-06 thinking the next time I would use it would be for the 2011 January antler-less deer season. I tried to check the chamber to be sure it was unloaded before putting it away and it would not un-breach. I sent it in for repair and finally got it back in May. I put the scope back on it and tried to get it sighted in. I shot it three times and each time it un-breached as it was fired. I sent it in a couple weeks ago and wonder if they will get it repaired in time for the January 2012 antler-less deer season? I am 62 years old and pretty healthy, but consider losing a couple deer seasons with my favorite medium range deer rifle at my age to be a significant impact. At least I have back-up rifles.

Stuart - I agree, TC has done a pretty good job on customer service under S&W rule even without good old Tim there.   Can't say it was as good as it was before S&W took over and Tim retired though.
 
Don - If they are still on the relocation schedule they started the year with, they are suppose to be all moved and settled by fall, plenty of time before your 1/12 hunt.
