New for 2022: Savage Arms Impulse Mountain Hunter

This video details Thompson/Center's innovative CFTX carbon fiber barrel technology, which incorporates Avian's patented Composite Heat Release (CHR) system. Unlike traditional carbon fiber barrels that wrap a steel core, the CFTX barrel features ceramic injected between the steel core and the carbon fiber sleeve. This ceramic acts as a heat-wicking material, significantly reducing the steel core and chamber temperature, thereby preventing point-of-impact shifts during rapid firing or high-pressure cartridge use. The technology, originally developed for mini-guns, aims to maintain accuracy and performance under demanding conditions, offering a distinct advantage over standard carbon fiber barrel constructions.

This video showcases rare and historically significant firearms from Thompson/Center Arms, including the Seneca, TCR, AR-55, Benchmark, and the unreleased Mountain Light rifle.

The presenters emphasize the craftsmanship and engineering that defined Thompson-Center's legacy, noting that many of these models are no longer in production but remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
