50th Anniversary G2 Contenders

We are steadily receiving shipments of the 50th Anniversary G2 Contenders, and we have already shipped two dozen to happy customers.  We expect to receive our next shipment in April.


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.  


HausOfArms Soft Pistol Cases

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,

Marty and The HausOfArms Crew

Emily's Venison Roast

Emily's #FieldToFork Monday. Venison roast can be tricky. As a working mom, the crockpot has always been my best friend, and it's definitely my go-to appliance when it comes to venison. I'll admit that the first time I saw the "Mississippi Roast" recipe, it didn't appeal to me. I'm so glad I decided to try it because it's an easy meal that my family loves! We've used this recipe for muley, white tail, elk, and caribou. You can't go wrong! Check it out:

Introducing HausOfArms' December 2018 Project Gun!

The HOA Hush Puppy


We gather inspiration for our bi-annual theme guns from a variety of places. It is our goal to make them surprising and interesting. Some are character driven, some are imitations of moments in history, or others are renditions of previously popular gun designs. True, there really is nothing new under the sun, but our goal is still originality, and our motivation is to spark creativity in the minds and hands of the shooters we serve.


The December 2018 HausOfArms project gun is hopefully a little bit of “all of the above”. One my most favorite of the most interesting standouts of all T/C pistols to me has been the “super short” barrel jobs. I’ve enjoyed browsing them in all calibers from ridiculous .44 Mag all the way down to miniscule 22 Shorts and 17 Mach 2s. So the goal was to create a highly desirable hat tip to these that would also act as a suppressor host and plinking companion. I think we’ve achieved exactly that with the help of our friends.

As always the foundation for our project is a frame any shooter would be proud of, and in this case it’s the blue G2 jeweled by Ken Kelly at Mag-Na-Port. Maybe you’ve seen the stainless jeweled frames before, but guys, I’m telling you, the blue jeweled frames are the kind of bling the dark knight would be proud of. That’s right, it’s the Batman of T/C frames. The dark-as-sin combo of matte and gloss is a theme we would continue with a heavy gloss blue MGM 22 Long Rifle Match barrel 7” in length and threaded to rimfire specs wearing a shortened picatinny scope base. The compact nature of this pistola lends itself perfectly to being topped with a Leupold Delta Point Pro and silenced with my Silencerco Spectre II muffler. The grip set is our ambi G2 from Revolution Stocks in the Purple Haze custom colorway. To soup things up even further the folks over there were very gracious to do a special fit on forend length right up to the shoulder of the threads on the muzzle. It is a striking piece.


Believe me when I say it is startlingly quiet. Laughable even both with subsonic and supersonic ammunition. But the Hush Puppy is no more silent than it is accurate thanks to the combo of the MGM barrel and a 1lb 15oz enhanced trigger. Zeroed at 25 yards the impact of CCI Quiet 22 (750fps) is just ¼” off from the Wolf Match .22. And even with the unmagnified reflex optic it is boringly simple to stack one round on top of another.

There really is no limit to what any of us can achieve when it comes to the versatility of these T/C platforms. Well, maybe one... Funding.


A First Look at the T/C LRR


Originally when T/C announced their entry into the autoloading .22 and Long Range Precision line of firearms I experienced a sort of knee jerk reflex as my eyes rolled to the back of my head, and I muttered something about “just another ‘me too’” gun from T/C. BUT... But, that’s not really fair though is it? T/C entered into the auto-loading .22 arena years and years ago with the Classic R-55 which was an outstanding rifle save for its price point both for the unit itself and aftermarket magazines. Had it been easier to get into the hands of recreational .22 shooters maybe it would’ve taken off and been around longer. And you know what? The T/CR22 is fantastic. It just is. The little 10/22 clone is feature-rich especially for factory 10/22 style offerings and the price-to-value ratio is way up there. Tons of high points and I can’t sing its praises enough. Mine is several hundred rounds in suppressed and loud and I have yet to clean it with my only beef being the sloppy trigger. But I just treat it like a dirty 2-stage and am on my way. Enough, we’re not even talking about the T/CR22 right now!


When it comes to bolt guns, it’s not like T/C hasn’t been trying to gain more foothold in this area for over a decade with the introduction of the Icon, the more affordable Venture, the interchangeable Dimension (my personal favorite) and the wildly popular Compass. So it only makes sense, if we’re moving in this direction at least in part, why NOT enlist the expertise of the S&W Performance Center to launch the LRR.


*By the way, LRR stands for “LONG-RANGE-RIFLE” if you’re into keeping track of the “name it what it is” acronym labeling mantra over at T/C these days.

So just real quick, as at the time of writing this piece I’ve only had one range trip to begin getting acquainted with the LRR, let’s take a brief walk through the standout points of the rifle itself. The T/C LRR is an interesting combination of simple and complex both in appearance and features. But even at that, it just is what it is. A straightforward shooter built solid and with proven accuracy offerings from the factory. The 2-way adjustable stock feels more like a 6-way stock, the bolt locks tight but smooth and the 20 MOA integrated picatinny rail gives you the framework for mounting a solid optic/ring combo to dial it in from deep.


There are a few “not reinventing the wheel” features on this (much like the T/CR22) that I like such as the M-LOK slots on the front of the chassis which both saves weight and allows for seamless integration of accessories, the included Caldwell adjustable bipod (remember S&W owns Battenfeld Tech which came with existing names like Caldwell) and integration of Accuracy International magazines to feed the beast. For the record I would’ve preferred DPMS style AR-10 mags but it’s sort of a potato/potahto choice in the accuracy world and the AI mags give it the feel of a pro “boutique” quality firearm… so does the price point of additional AI magazines.


The LRR trigger is a 2 stage in the sense it has the internal spring-loaded plunger a la Savage AccuTrigger style and claims adjustability from 2.5-3.5 pounds pull weight. While I wish on the bottom side we saw something more like 1-1.5lb minimum, the trigger is crisp, clean, short and is very satisfactory for what it is: An end user customizable trigger designed for a balance of optimum usability and accuracy.


I know what you’re thinking: “How does the 11.5 pound rifle shoot? HOW. DOES. IT. SHOOT?!?!?!?!” We ordered the 6.5 Creedmoor model sporting the FDE colored chassis with the 24” 5R button rifled and generously fluted barrel (25.5” with the installed brake). I topped it with a 30mm one piece mount from American Defense Manufacturing combined with a Leupold VX-3i CDS 20x optic. The goal was to set it up in a way in which the periphery equipment would not be blamed for any potential malfeasance at the range.


I used some existing 6.5 Creed handloads to get it on paper after bore sighting shooting 2 rounds at each setting to ensure adjustment coming properly. Each of these pairs running a 140 grain Hornady ELD-X projectile would be nearly touching which proved to be an early encouragement. With spitting rain, heavy gusting horizontal winds, an antsy 6 year old and dusk threatening my shooting light, I managed to print a single sub-MOA 5 shot group using factory Hornady 140 Grain ELD-X ammunition claiming 2700fps on the box. If we were to be generous to the shooter and removed a 5th shot flyer we’d be looking at a 4 shot lucky clover measuring 11/16” diameter from opposite centers. Not bad for the first time out. I’ve got some fresh boxes of Hornady Match 147 grain ELD-X  rounds begging for some attention and can’t wait to test accuracy at 200 meters and beyond. And all this with factory ammo as we haven’t even begun to consider dialing in hand loads yet.


Overall it’s important to understand the value of this rifle especially for what it is. You’re looking at a $1200 MSRP entry level precision rifle in a market that routinely sees competitor rifles falling in at 2x-4x the cost of this setup. It has a very smooth and mild recoil response making it comfortable to shoot all day, a bolt that glides easily and feeds and ejects rounds with gusto, and a comfortable chassis and platform you can customize to your personal frame. Wanna hunt with it? Sure, if you’re in a stationary spot and don’t have to lug it over mountains. Want to compete with it? By all means. Want to punch paper and ring steel by yourself at the range? I think you’d be tickled with the capabilities.


Maybe it is possible after all for T/C to continue looking to the future while staying faithful to the platforms that got us here? I know this curmudgeon wouldn’t complain if we began seeing some S&W Performance Center influence start to creep into the Encore and Contender world.


A guy can dream can’t he?


Speaking Of T/CR22s…


We have T/CR22s in stock that are ready to ship!  We also have custom Revolution laminate stock sets and barrels that will fit both the T/CR22 and the Ruger 10/22.  This is a fun round to shoot, and it is 100% customizable to your taste.  T/C is also offering a rebate on the T/CR22s through the end of the year!


50th Anniversary Contenders


In the Spring we joked about the 50th Anniversary Contenders being 51st Anniversary Contenders.  It seemed funny at the time. Much to our dismay, this may be our reality. We have been told that the stocksets had to be returned to the manufacturer twice because they didn’t meet specifications.  We appreciate the attention to detail and the commitment to quality, but we know that this is not the news that many of you were hoping for.


Now time for the good news…Danielle Sanville from Thompson Center has let us know that the first shipment of 10 is expected to ship by the close of 2018.  We are hopeful that this will happen!


Match Grade Machine Barrels


Our partnership with Match Grade Machine continues to flourish, and in turn, our customers get to reap the benefits.  In addition to the MGM barrels that we have stocked for the last year, we added many new calibers in 2018. These calibers include the highly anticipated .410 and 28 gauge shotgun barrels in all platforms, and the 45 cal muzzleloader barrels in both rifle and pistol for all platforms.  


Each month, we continue to sell out of the popular calibers, and we appreciate Match Grade Machine working hard to keep our shelves stocked.  The 357 Rem Max, 300 Blackout, 450 Bushmaster, and 444 Marlin tend to fly off the shelves faster than we can get them in.  We are also now offering the 460 S&W and the 300 Win Mag with built in brakes.  


Dimension Barrels


While many distributors have stopped stocking the Dimension platform, we are committed to continuing to offer as much as possible for as long as possible.  We are happy to report that we have secured all the remaining 6.5 Creedmoor barrels for the Dimension platform.  If you’ve wanted to add to your Dimension lineup or start your Dimension collection, don’t wait!


A Note From Marty


As you are reading this, I am on a hog hunt in Texas with Eric and James.  This is our second year going on this hunt at Pavur Outdoors in Seymour, TX, and it has been another fantastic trip.  We’ve all three had success sleighing beasts and filling the freezer. You can’t beat that!

A NOTE FROM MARTY
Some of you may have noticed a different voice answering the phone this summer.  Ruth and I had the opportunity to do some traveling throughout the summer, and Emily has been running the office.  In July, we took 5 of the grandkids to Yellowstone for 10 days.  One of the highlights of our trip was seeing a grizzly bear within 15 minutes of entering the park.  Ruth and I have been to Yellowstone three times, and this was our first time seeing a grizzly in the park.  The grandkids have no idea how lucky they are.

July Updates From HausOfArms

In February, Dylan at Match Grade Machine approached us about creating 45 caliber Muzzleloader barrels for the Encore and the G2.  MGM has worked tirelessly to get these new barrels out, and we worked with Revolution to create a prototype for the necessary forends.  The barrels and forends will be in stock by the end of July, and ready to ship!
We also have the following MGM barrels in stock:

We are loving the Color Case Hardened frames that Turnbull Restoration is working on for us.  They are one of a kind and gorgeous.  We are offering them in Encore Prohunter and G2 Contender pistol frame assemblies.  They can be used for pistol or rifle.  We also have the ability for you to send your BLUED pre-owned Encore Prohunter or G2 Contender frames to us and we will send them to have them color case hardened.  Check out our youtube video for more information.  Pictured below is a Color Case Hardened Frame with a Woodland Camo Crusher Loop Grip Set.  It will also have a 7-30 Waters barrel that was sent to our friends at Mag-na-port to have them work up some custom magic.

We have a few of the pre-sale 50th Anniversary G2 Contenders left.  We don't have a ship date from T/C yet, but we have been told that they are "in assembly".  

We still have a few of the deeply discounted Thompson Center Scopes left!  If you are looking for a good quality scope that won't break the bank, check these out!

Be the first of your friends to sport a new HausOfArms T-shirt!  They are a soft tri-blend, they fit true to size, and they don't shrink.  We have them in sizes Medium-3XL.  They are $17.50 when ordered with another item.  


A Note From Marty
I'd like to take a minute to give everyone a little background on HausOfArms.  After a few decades working as a Union Electrician, I faced my first layoff.  I began looking for ways to supplement my income, and I eventually found Thompson Center.  My son, Eric, helped me with the social media and internet portion, and I ran the business out of a small home office.  Each year, the business has grown.  Nine years later, my wife, Ruth, and my daughter, Emily, also help run the business.  We appreciate each and everyone of our customers, and we are committed to providing the same, outstanding level of customer service.  Here's a throwback to the HausOfArms crew in the mid 80s!

D-Day 2018 Custom Offerings and June Newsletter

ENCORE CUSTOM CLASSIC CARBINE

As you know, our tradition here at HausofArms is to introduce a new custom package gun on D-Day June 6th and Pearl Harbor Day December 7th. This years D-Day offering is old school blue and walnut, and should speak to the purists out there. This offering isn't just one gun, but 3 different variations of the same theme.


1) JUNIOR CLASSIC CARBINE- starts with a blue Encore Prohunter frame, a JUNIOR Walnut Stockset (13"LOP and shorter forend), a limited edition TC blue 300 blackout barrel, 16 1/4" long with threaded muzzle, a Talley mount and a Leupold Freedom Series 3-9 x 40 scope, packaged in a TC soft case!


2) ADULT CLASSIC CARBINE- starts with a blue Encore Prohunter frame, an ADULT Walnut Stockset, a limited edition TC blue 300 blackout barrel, 16 1/4" long with threaded muzzle, a Talley mount and a Leupold Freedom Series 3-9 x 40 scope, packaged in a TC soft case!


3) DELUXE CLASSIC CARBINE- now this is where the coolness factor gets cranked way up. Starts with a blue Encore Prohunter frame, COLOR CASE HARDENED BY TURNBULL RESTORATION, an ADULT Walnut Stockset, a limited edition TC blue 300 blackout barrel, 16 1/4" long with threaded muzzle, a Talley mount and a Leupold Freedom Series 3-9 x 40 scope, packaged in a TC soft case!


We only have 10 of these barrels to work with so it's first come first served. As always, our intent is to sell this package, BUT it is also to inspire you the TC enthusiast to think outside of the box by allowing you to see all the options you have at HausofArms.com



T/C 50th ANNIVERSARY CONTENDERS

We still have a few of these 50th Anniversary Contenders to sell from our original allotment. Unfortunately, no news from TC as to when they will ship. 



COLOR CASE HARDENED FRAMES

Our new partnership with Turnbull Restoration has produced several beautiful color case hardened frames.  We are offering them in Encore Prohunter and G2 Contender pistol frame assemblies.  They can be used for pistol or rifle, and they are stunning.  We also have the ability for you to send your BLUED pre-owned Encore Prohunter or G2 Contender frames to us and we will send them to have them color case hardened.  Check out our youtube video for more information.


MATCH GRADE MACHINE/HAUSOFARMS BARRELS

We are excited to announce that we still have four of the 6.5 PRC barrels left from our June MGM order.  The May order shipped the first week of June, and we know that many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new barrel.  

In addition to the 6.5 PRC, we also have the following MGM barrels in stock:

Encore: 300 Blackout450 Bushmaster22 Hornet224 Valkyrie30-30357 Rem Max44 Mag444 Marlin6.5 Creedmoor45-70460 S&W454 Casull 

Contender: 22 Hornet300 Blackout357 Rem Max44 Mag 

G2 Specific: 6.5 Grendel, 444 Marlin224 Valkyrie 



CUSTOM COLORED ENCORE PROHUNTER STOCKSETS

It's been said that necessity is the mother of invention.  At HOA, it could be said that "excess is the mother of invention".  Record breaking frame sales have led to an excess of black Encore Prohunter stocksets, and we decided that the old trusty black stocksets needed a makeover.  We are excited to introduce our Custom Colored Encore Prohunter Stocksets in Desert Tan, Medium Gray, and Olive Drab Green.  



A NOTE FROM MARTY

We recently added a new category on the HausOfArms site.  There was much discussion about how to label this new section.  Ruth really wanted to call it "Pre-Loved".  Emily voted for "Pre-Owned".  We decided on "Used".  Short and simple, right?  We take in a lot of used inventory from customers wanting to trade in items for something new or different.  Now we are offering that inventory to our customers first.  Check it out here.



As Always Stay Safe and Shoot Straight,

Marty and The HOA Crew

2018 Shot Show and 2018 GAOS Review and Newsletter

This has been an unusually busy travel spring for the HausofArms crew. First a trip to the 5 day 2018 Shot Show in Las Vegas coupled with a visit to MGM Barrels in Hurricane, UT.  We were home long enough to enjoy 4 days of the flu then we headed to The Great American Outdoor Show in PA.  Emily did an awesome job running things in our absence. Okay, let's get to the bullet points:

2018 SHOT SHOW REVIEW
The biggest Thompson Center news from the show occurred the very first morning, The 50th Anniversary Commemorative Contender was unveiled first thing. TC Brand manager, Danielle Sanville, was gracious enough to do a LIVE FaceBook with me to make that announcement. You can see the picture attached but here is a brief description anyway. Picture this, a blue G2 high gloss frame, with the gussets milled off to create that slab side look, the "cougar" head in gold on one side and the 50th Anniversary logo in gold on the other. The barrel was an octagon 10" gloss blue 22 LR with open sights and the furniture is walnut in a nice collector case. I'm told these will be numbered with an MSRP of $1380. Details will follow a little later in this article regarding how to order them.

You make the Call

You make the Call. Here are the facts: 1) items pictured Dimension 308 barrel, D bolts and bridge mounts have been backordered for at least 6-8 months. 2) 5 of my major suppliers are placing all Dimension items on clearance 3) AND this is the big one, removing all SKU numbers from their online inventories. Question, what is happening with the Dimension as a platform? My disclaimer is, I have no insider knowledge from TC about this. This is what HausofArms is doing: buying everything Dimension I can find including magazines. If the music stops I plan to have these components for my following. If the music doesn't stop, I'll change my name to C. Little. One more tidbit to consider. The magazines are interchangeable with the Venture platform so they should be available. Marty

Notes on Hinge Pins: 

Did you know that you can use your smaller (looser) factory hinge pins to help guide your oversized hinge pins into the frame and barrel lug? Rather than putting the barrel and frame together loose and hoping the oversized pin “self guides” its way in just leave your factory hinge pin in place as you drive in the oversized hinge pin.


BE SURE to always use a lubricant to help guide the new pin into your frame. Not only does this make insertion easier, but it prevents damage to the frame or barrel lug due to unnecessary friction. The lube doesn’t....

Haus of Arms Newsletter June 2014 Edition

Greetings, friends of Haus of Arms. Here are some details about what’s been happening in our world since the last update. All highlighted areas are links directly to item or service listings on the HoA site.

That’s right! We are now prepared to begin offering trigger jobs on your existing T/C Encore frames. Upgrades will be available using a complete Mike Bellm 3-3 1/2 pound trigger spring kit. Changes to your frame occur in parts only as we will not be performing modifications to the internal organs.

Forend Solutions For Bergara TC4700 45-70 Govt Barrels

The FULL contour diameter of Bergaras TC4700 45-70 GOVT barrel has created some creative opportunities as to which forend to use. Bergara makes a great line of interchangeable Encore/Prohunter barrels in many calibers BUT standard Encore/Prohunter rifle forends DO NOT fit, they are just a shade to the small side. Syn thetic rifle forends can be modified but will require a certain level of skill to accomplish and then that forend may not be reusable on your other rifle barrels. The easiest solution is to use your muzzleloader forend if you have one. I know the mounting screws are different but simply remove the forend bushings from below your muzzleloader barrel and reinstall them below your rifle barrel and install the forend, it fits perfectly. Note, care must be taken not to strip those tiny screws that hold the bushings on and I recommend using a hollow ground screwdriver sized correctly. Another solution utilizing a shotgun forend is still under investigation and requires using longer rifle forend screws and washers to install your shotgun forend to the rifle barrel. I also believe these solutions will apply to the laminate stocksets that I sell. More later....... Until then be safe and shoot straight. Marty
