Gun shop find

[GregK]

Took a gun into my local gunsmith to have a scope mounted and he was selling this on consignment, had a pistol scope mounted so I had them reinstall the original iron sights. Ser # 33XXX. Anyone know what the year of manufacture may be?

Looks like a T/C Contender (?). They were made in the '80's

It's a TC Patriot muzzle loader

Thompson Center made the patriot pistol in .36 caliber or .45 caliber. Which caliber is this one? I've been looking to buy the .45 cal. version for a couple of years. Wish I could find one.
