Description
This is a somewhat rough example of the Thompson Center Contender pistol. Thompson Center introduced their break-action single-shot pistols and rifles in 1967, with their most unique feature being how the barrel is attached to the frame. By removing the fore-end, a large hinge pin is exposed; by pushing this hinge pin out, the barrel can be removed. Since the sights and extractor remain attached to the barrel, the frame itself contains no cartridge-specific features. A barrel of another caliber or length can be installed and pinned in place, the fore-end replaced, and the pistol is ready to shoot with a different barrel and pre-aligned sights. This allowed easy changes of calibers, sights, and barrel lengths, with only a flat screwdriver being required for this change. The hammer has a selector switch which allows for rimfire and centerfire cartridges interchangeably. This example is configured for 22LR.
Overall condition based on Blue Book of Guns guidelines, is 50%.
