Local gunshop is having a sale on these for $150. I was wondering if a regular TC stock will fit one as they only have an 11 1/2 in LOP. The thing only weighs 3 pounds and with a 19 inch barrel would make a great squirrel rifle. Anybody that has one or shot one have any opinions? Thanks in advance!

The thing only weighs 3 pounds and with a 19 inch barrel would make a great squirrel rifle. Anybody that has one or shot one have any opinions? Thanks in advance! I had one for awhile. Got it hoping that it would have the same sort of takedown capability as the Encore and Contender and would thus make a neat kit gun. Nope: the receiver is made of some kind of light/white metal alloy and the barrel pivot pin is staked or crimped in place. I gave the pin a few experimental taps with a mallet and punch, but it didn't budge and I didn't dare go any further for fear of breaking a chunk out the side of the action. I did toy with the option of drilling it out and bushing the hole but decided it would be a matter of putting too much work into what the gun is. Wasn't horrid to shoot, but nothing special, either. Frankly, I'm more impressed with the Chipmunk I bought years ago when the Mrs and I thought we were starting a family. Far as the stock LOP is concerned, mine came with a spacer in the box. Didn't turn it into a grownup-sized stock, but it did bring it to where it lost the "riding a kid's tricycle" feel. Considering how the rest of the gun was done, I'd have trouble believing any other T/C product's stock would fit. |
