My favorite Thompson Center product. Whats yours?

[taylorh]

Hi Guys,
Recently I listed my favorite Thompson Center products in another discussion string. After that discussion I went to TC's website to see what they were offering in tradional type muzzleloaders only to discover that they only have a single offering, the .50 Hawken rifle! What a shame... So I thought maybe we could give them a hand and forward to them an "unscientific" pole of sorts. Listed below are my favorite TC products. How about listing your favorite 3-5 products including any changes you would make, and lets let them know what we would like to see them make!

PS Here is my list...
1. TC Renegade .56 Smoothbore With Fixed Sights
2. TC New Englander 12 Gauge
3. TC New Englander .54 With Factory Peepsight
4. TC White Mountain Carbine in .54 with Fixed Sights.

:hmm: Seneca; 13/16" x 36"(or at least 33") in .36, .40 and .45 cal.,in flint or percussion. Retail $599 to $699.... :grin:

TC 1000+

Would not own a store bought firearm

 

[Sharp Shooter]

58cal Renegade Barrels

 

They make a pretty good nipple wrench.

Well, my favorite is the T/C Contender. :redface: Followed closely by my New Englander in 12 ga and the .50 barrel thereafter. I have a Renegade that is over 25 years old and still a pleasure to shoot.

Plus, My New Englander was a kit and has a bit of figure in the walnut. Always a plus.

Here are my "farming tools". If you are a coyote or a woodchuck you may meet the top one - a T/C Contender .223 REM carbine with 4X Weaver scope. Sweet.

T/C Cherokee with a .32 and .45 barrel.
It's the only T/C gun I own.
I also like the No. 13 bore cleaner.

That would be the White Mountain carbine. A handy dandy little .50 cal I still kick myself for letting go.

 

[Applejack]

My .50 cal. percussion Hawken I built from a kit the winter of 1976-77 and the only muzzleloader I currently own. I built it the way I wanted it and it fits me like a glove and is very accurate. I browned it using a half quart jar of chemical an old timer gave to me and it turned out beautiful! The stock was sanded and sanded and finished with Tung oil. It has only ever shot PRB (pillow ticking) which I cast myself from scrap lead pipe over 80 gr. of FFg Goex.

 

[roundball]

Pretty well invested in TC Hawkens for a lot of years now, in many calibers, with standard, round ball, and smoothbore barrels, cap and flint, plus NL 1000, #13, patches, etc.

Now that they have their Flintlock assemblies redesigned and completely reliable, I wish they'd make another Flint version of the existing Hawken that was full stock, longer LOP, more drop, 33" barrel, and fixed sights.

Retired Madic,
Nice collection of T/C's you have there.They look like they have seen some time in the woods also. :thumbsup:
I got 3 also,here they is....

I had a chance to but a Penn hunter in Flintlock a couple of years ago and Never bought a Lyman flintlock instead.Wished I had of got the T/C too.

They make a pretty good nipple wrench.

Oh yeah, I forgot the bore butter. :grin:

Some of the walnut stocks are nice, to bad they put them on such short guns..... :wink:

 

[Landngroove]

On any given day, my preference order can change. 1. White Mountain Carbine .54 2. Hawken .54 Percussion. 3. Hawken .50 Flintlock. 4. Renegade .54 Percussion. 5. Renegade .54 Flintlock. :grin:
