I picked up a White mountain carbine at a estate sale this is how it came, overall it is in good shape bores perfect a few stock dings a refinish will take of I assume it has a 1:28 twist. What mount bases would fit on this?

Did the TC white mountain carbine come with predrilled scope mounts?

You need Thompson Center part #9953. I see them on EBay from time to time.

Thanks I never knew TC sold those, I never considered putting a scope on a ML loader however my eyes are getting older.

To answer the question in the title, NO. At least mine didn't.
My two 54 cal did not. Also the 50 cals came in varying twist rates depending on how early they were made, so you will need to verify.

I did the cleaning rod trick it's confirmed 1:20 twist serial # 106**, whoever did the scope holes did a nice job doubtful I'll ever scope it
If you stay away from heavy loads you will be fine, but they are prone to stock cracking.
There is a thread about how to reinforce them
Here you go.

I have done both of mine and bedded the tangs as I am using them as host stocks for a 58 cal carbine and 54 carbine fast twist.....I am also using the 54 cal version
People also complain about the triggers being heavy, but both of mine are great.

I disassembled it today I did notice a hairline crack on the left side above the trigger, I've pillar bedded a few centerfires this will be my first muzzle loader, I need a project any shooting is still a few months away here
Just looked at my .50 caliber, which is the later one that had the machine screw instead of the wood screw, and it is not factory drilled and tapped. I would guess somebody had yours drilled and tapped. Check the holes and make sure that they did not drill into the bore.

That was the first thing I thought of after I learned they weren't factory, removed the plugs all good......whew!

Ironed out the dents and gave stumpy a fresh oil job complete with a JB weld bedding job to toughen up that stock
