While discussing ML season at the local bait and tackle store this week, an older gentleman proceeded to tell me ( not knowing what I recently bought as I had not told it yet ) that after all his many years of blackpowder shooting the only mfg he tells people to avoid is Thompson Center.
nothing like "dock talk" i would be willing to bet he has never owned a t/c
He claims that the barrels were too soft. Said he could cut them with his knife.
he may could have scratched the finish/parkerizing but the barrel was so soft you could cut it with a knife yet it lasted 250 shots, don't think so
this would have been the final clue i would have needed to seal this deal
