Hello all,

As many are aware, Smith and Wesson shut down the Thompson Center operation and due to that there is no support for magazines and/or parts. I’m looking to see if anyone is aware of the likelihood/possibility of 3D printing magazines for a Venture/Dimension. Any input or eager folks wanting to try this out would be appreciated - I’d be willing to fund! I’ve seen a few files available online but I truly have no idea if they’re correct for the magazine chambering I’d need.

Thanks!

You might take a momentary pause in that and reassess next year.

TC is now a separate from S&W entity and bought out by former TC management family/ guy.

They got all the old tooling, all the parts stashes at S&W and all the TC gun library.  You may find parts coming available in summer of 2025.  iirc that’s their target.

<—— looking forward to some Encore barrel options.

I've been printing aftermarket T/C Compass and Venture mags commercially for a while now in various calibers and capacities (you might have seen them already while searching around). the Venture mags are straightforward to design but the Compass was a pain in the butt to get right.
