350 Legend Barrels From Match Grade Machine
We are expecting our first shipment of 350 Legend Barrels for all platforms by the end of March. We still have a few pre-sale barrels left, but we don’t expect them to last. If you are considering a 350 Legend barrel, we would suggest ordering asap.
350 Legend Scopes And Ammo
Leupold plans to release 350 Legend Scopes by early summer. These will be CDS scopes specifically designed for the 350 Legend. We plan to stock a few of these scopes. (We also plan to stock them for the 450 Bushmaster).
We hope to stock Winchester’s 350 Legend Ammo as soon as it’s available.
We have a few of our HausOfArms pistol cases left, and we plan to order more. These cases come in 24 and 27 inch options, and they will fit a scoped pistol in all platforms.
16.5” Threaded 6.5 Creedmoor Dimension Barrels By Bellm
As always, we strive to offer new custom items on a regular basis. We sent a few of our 6.5 Creedmoor Dimension barrels to Mike Bellm to have them cut down and threaded. Mike cut them down to 16.5” and added a 5/8-24 thread with a cap. These barrels are a perfect fit for a small blind!
T/C Shooters Challenge
Our friend, John Tasker, runs the T/C Shooters Facebook group. He has started a monthly shooting challenge, and there will be prizes for the winners! Check it out!
A Note From Marty
Many of you are already aware of the blatant attack on our 1A and 2A rights by Facebook. They have recently shut down multiple T/C enthusiast groups with zero recourse. While we plan to continue to use the HausOfArms Facebook page for as long as possible, we are also encouraging our followers to join us on MeWe. MeWe is a 2A friendly site, and we are asking everyone to join in case our Facebook page is shut down.

Introducing The 350 Legend By Match Grade Machine
At SHOT Show, Winchester introduced their newest ammo: 350 Legend. There has been a lot of buzz and excitement about the possibilities that the 350 Legend can offer. Dylan from Match Grade Machine came home from SHOT Show and got to work designing a 350 Legend barrel for both the Encore and Contender. We are offering them as a pre-sale item right now, and we should have them by the end of March. We are offering them for the Encore and Contender in both blued and stainless. They will be 20” long, threaded with a cap, and 1:16 twist.
The 350 Legend WILL NEVER Replace the 357 Rem Max
As many of you know, the HausOfArms Crew LOVES the 357 Rem Max. We all own one, and we all love them for different reasons: lack of recoil, versatility, accuracy...we could go on all day about the 357 Rem Max. Here’s the deal, the 357 Rem Max isn’t an accessible barrel for everyone because not everyone reloads and not everyone can afford to buy reloads, but the 357 Rem Max has a loyal following and will ALWAYS have a loyal following. This is where the 350 Legend comes in. It has many of the same qualities as the 357 Rem Max, AND the price point and accessibility of the ammunition makes it accessible to ALL.
What Match Grade Machine Says About The 350 Legend
The 350 Legend is perfect for the states that are restricted to 1.8" straight wall case for hunting. Winchester had youth, women, and those of us that are recoil sensitive in mind during development. This case is designed to compete with cartridges like the 450 Bushmaster and the 460 S&W, but without the recoil. New case features include an overall length of 1.71", a slightly rebated rim that is the same diameter as the 223 Remington, multiple SKU’s of factory loaded ammunition, plus the benefit of reloadability with a plentiful supply of 35 caliber bullets. This blazing round will have great muzzle velocity combined with proper hunting bullets that will allow you to reach out to 300 yards and beyond with confidence. There’s no doubt that the 350 Legend will be a great addition to your Encore or Contender barrel collection. See it in action: https://winchester.com/350-Legend#video

50th Anniversary G2 Contenders
As of right now, we haven’t received anymore of the 50th Anniversary Contenders, but we expect to start receiving regular weekly shipments of them! The first one that we received went to a legend in the T/C community. Bob Bryarly has been a champion and advocate for Thompson Center for decades, and we were honored to be able to fulfill his order.
A Note From Marty
Our first shipment of 2019 T/C Catalogs arrived this week! We will be adding one to every HausOfArms order that goes out the door while supplies last. We can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks about them.
Shoot Straight and Be Safe,

Haus of Arms September 2014 Newsletter
Several months ago we started on an endeavor to attempt adding camo patterns to T/C Encore Pro Hunter stock sets that have not and from what we understand will not be added to the factory T/C synthetic stock lineup. Thompson Center Frame hammer won't cock?
I got a voice mail message from that buyer a few days later and he was frantic. he had picked up his new gem from his local FFL transfer agent and took it home to begin assembly.
"The frame hammer won't cock" was his message. He was convinced it was either broken or had been tampered with by a novice. You could tell from his tone that he had already played out the scenarios in his mind and maybe with the help of his significant other. He recapped his investment for me in his message and probably was concerned with this guy from Missouri he had made this sizable purchase from.
I was at work, had limited time to respond but attempted to ease his fears anyway. First of all I let him know I would make it right and then suggested we talk at my lunch break and gave him my phone number.
Second I gave him 2 things to try before we talked:
1) Make sure that the frame bolt attaching the buttstock to the frame had not only the lock washer but also the thick flat washer. Without both of these the bolt goes in to far and inhibits the hammer from cocking. Actually happened to me, not discovered till at the range!
2) Next and I prefaced this one with a disclaimer that I was not trying to insult his intelligence BUT.... There is a safety mechanism inside the frame that only allows the hammer to be cocked if a barrel is attached. I then described how and where that trip cam was and how to defeat it to perform the hammer test.
I went back to work and started to play out all the scenarios for my end, return, refund, replacement etc.... To my pleasant surprise he emailed me before lunch apologizing and feeling embarrassed. He didn't know about the barrel safety feature, went through my process and all tested well. Sometimes experience is the best teacher! Marty
