Sources for T/C barrels?
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a manufacturer (besides Thompson Center) that sells T/C barrels? I'm trying to find a fast twist 22-250 barrel for a Dimension instead of the 1:12" factory barrel. Thanks! |

Match Grade Machines, has on their website, Thompson Center and Encore barrels. I don't know about the Dimension, I'm not familair with that model, but that site was recommended to me when I was interested in building an Encore.

Dimension rifles never really caught on and have been discontinued. However, if you send your barrel to someplace that makes pre-fit barrels they could probably make you one by duplicating it. You're just going to have to ask around.

You can buy a new rifle cheaper than you will get one. You might get EABCO to build you one. I stress "might."

MGM, I have two. One is .500 and the other 7mm Rem Mag. Both shoot very well. You can get one for 395.00 in as tight as a 1-7 if you want.

Thanks for the info guys! I wasn't aware that the dimension was discontinued. I've actually wanted one since they came out and came across a great deal on one (old stock, but post recall model).... I asked about the barrel in anticitation of kitting it up a bit. Other than possible lack of factory support, do any of you have warnings about buying/owning one at this point? Ill just be using it for hunting and aside from load development it realistically won't see a lot of use.
Thanks Last edited by hal9000; January 27, 2019 at 11:19 PM. |

Where did the info that the Dimension is discontinued come from? T/C still lists them on their site, and I can't find anything about it on Google.

MGM and Bullberry are two good ones. I'm going to be receiving my second MGM this week. They offer a lot of options.

Bergara makes T/C barrels.
I'm sure E.R. Shaw could make you one also.
