Thompson/Center Arms Launches Sweepstakes to Highlight 50th AnniversarySPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Thompson/Center Arms announced today that 2017 marks fifty years since the creation of the brand and the company is celebrating this achievement with the launch of the “T/C® 50th Anniversary Sweepstakes.” To commemorate its golden year, Thompson/Center Arms will design and manufacture a small batch of an exciting new Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Firearm, one of which will be given away to the winner of the T/C 50th Anniversary Sweepstakes.
Thompson/Center Arms has a unique history beginning in the 1960s, when Warren Center developed a revolutionary break-action, single-shot pistol, known as the Contender®. In 1965, Center brought his design to the K.W. Thompson Tool Company, and together, they introduced the Contender pistol in 1967. From that point forward, the company has been known as the Thompson/Center Arms Company, and has continued to design and manufacture innovative, purpose-built products ever since.
“We are passionate about the firearms we design and produce for hunting and shooting enthusiasts,” said Danielle Sanville, Brand Manager for Thompson/Center Arms. “Since 1967, the Thompson/Center brand has been synonymous with firearms that perform well and stand the test of time. We are proud that Thompson/Center has become known as the brand that delivers value and reliability you won’t find anywhere else.”
