[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 667606, member: 9253"] Unlike a Thompson Contender (T/C) the action is firmly attached to the barrel. You pay just about the full price (less stock) to do a caliber swap. I also find it's more difficult to shoot offhand in silhouette competition. The triggers on the older T/Cs were excellent by comparison. I own a Lone Eagle in 223 Rem but shoot it very little. My M1-S AR-15 and Carbon 15 semi-auto 223 Pistols give better accuracy. The Carbon 15 is lighter. The barrel assembly itself is accurate enough but I never could get acceptable performance from the triggers. I have two guns with worse triggers. One is a Bushmaster M-17 bullpup, the other is the Swingline staple gun I use to hang targets. [/QUOTE]
