Thompson Center Problems???

I have a T/C Encore in 270. I have never switched out the barrel and up until last season it worked just great. A couple of times last season it "dry-fired" the cartridge had a dimple on the primer, but it didn't fire. It is happening again this season. I had to reload and take another shot to get a doe last weekend.

Has anyone else had these problems and do you know of any possible remedies?

Hammer extentions can be the culprit. I have found them to be on a friends encore. Not a solide lockup the second. Oversized hinge pin can fix this.

Hard to say without troubleshooting.

Are you using factory ammo or reloads? How deep is the dimple in the primer? Have you tried another brand of ammo? you maybe have ammo problems not a gun problem,Everytime I've had miss fires they are usually ammo related.

TC's are fickle and for so many reasons. The "lockup" in conjunction with their sloppy chambers,reliably leads to ignition woe,due to inertia being robbed.

I can't believe they have sold more than 6 of them.

No doubt, I can't believe even I got sucked into this hype.
