The 50 Best Guns Ever Made (31-40)
The 50 Best Guns Ever Made (31-40)
31. Thompson/Center Contender Pistol
The T/C Contender was first marketed in 1967. It's a simple, single-shot, short-barreled firearm that offers almost unlimited versatility by virtue of interchangeable barrels. You can get it in a startling variety of calibers, from .22 LR up through centerfire rifle cartridges, and it will shoot with great accuracy.

Ironically, the T/C Contender is now available as a full-size rifle, which utilizes the same action but employs a 23-inch barrel, a full-size fore-end, and a buttstock. So this one-hand rifle is now a two-hand rifle.

They are one of the funnest pistols I have ever shot. They don't eat up ammo either. I hve one with a .223 and a 30-30.
pre-warning guns were the best looking and best shooting guns ever made by an american company on a production rifle. from the red butt plate down to the finely figured wood on their stocks, what a gun! i have seventeen of the original 24 calibers in very good to excellent condition on all of them. trying to get all twenty four, but it's getting harder to find them all the time.
my name is brennan greenacre
That is a weird lookin' gun but I'll do what everyone says and assume they're fun to shoot!
