Anyone have any good or bad comments on this companies drop in barrels for Thompson Center rifles? I know they are a long time Spanish gunmaker, are there barrels decent ?

Holy Toledo! (Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system) :)

Am not familiar with the name, but I can say that the T/C Barrels with 1 in 66" twist have been very accurate, and owners have won state & national matches with them. Hard to beat the factory issue! ;)

For a few years, T/C offered a .40 caliber in a rifle named after National Champion shooter, M. Cleland .

The .40 caliber is INHO, like a .243 Win. Fast, flat-shooting, and accurate out to 100 yards+.

My Watts flintlock is a .40 caliber.

Sorry, not much help.

I just happened to see an ad for a 12 gauge barrel of their manufacture. It drops into a TC 15/16" barrel channel.The barrel looks like good quality in the photos, chrome lined and apparently well made.  I had never heard of them making muzzy barrels.
