Thompson Contender

[white eagle]

I have the itch to get a Contender again
I have had one with a 7mm tcu and 300 Savage barrels
I have looked but no where can I find what I am looking for I want to get a barrel in either 475 or 500 Linebaugh cartridges
is there any reason that these are not suitable for the contender
anyone know where to get the made

Match Grade Machine lists both the .475 linebaugh and .500 linebaugh, but in Encore only. Maybe they consider them too much for a Contender?

Yup, too much of a good thing for the 'Tender.

Yep, it's the pressure issue I think. Both run in the neighborhood of 50K psi...

Good-luck...BCB

Yes sir looks like those two big boys are in Encore platform! Both excellent rounds though
