Kind of just watching for a Contender 22LR and/or Ruger 204 carbine barrel to make their way here and almost nothing.

Hmm, been that way for other barrels too.


Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

It's been like that on many forums.

People were flocking to Facebook for a while, until the anti-gun crowd started reporting everyone. It's hard to post anything gun-related on Facebook without getting banned or put in "Facebook Jail" for a couple of days.

There are now several groups on MeWe that post barrels and other parts. I even opened a group page there - https://mewe.com/join/thompson_center_firearms_buyselltrade

I've been doing my best to bring people back here, but it's just something about "sites" lately... People don't want focus. They want a wide range of things at their fingertips, without changing pages. They want to be able to correspond with their friends, buy what they want, etc... without leaving the same website. Social media has been the big draw for a while. I don't get it. People get banned by Facebook for posting gun-related stuff, and even though I tell them, "Hey, there is a page specifically for you...Encore Classifieds", they would rather stay on Facebook and complain about getting in trouble for not following Facebook's policies.

That's why I created that MeWe page. It's social-media... but unlike Facebook, it's gun-friendly. MeWe needs some work though, or I have a bad feeling it ain't going to last long.

All the best,
Glenn


If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

I'm with Sunny.
Don't new a new place to visit.
I'll visit the old standbys until after the election.
I'm anxious to see how that goes.
It's gonna be interesting to say the least.

One thing about dedicated sites is you have fewer keyboard warriors trying to embarrass and being an intimidator of new shooters.
I hate some of the jerks that join a page and try to act like an expert from Grandma's basement.
I'd love it if Facebook was shut down for political bias. Turn it off lights out! So sorry Mark your stock is now worth zero!
