T/C Cherokee production dates??

[myya]

I need some information on production dates on T/C Cherokee .32 caliber rifle, percussion, and right handed.
Production dates started and ended.
I just refinished one for a neighbor. I just want to find out when they were made.
Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to the site.

Good luck on that one, a fire at the T/C Plant destroyed a lot of records and they don't even know a lot of things anymore. Whether the Cherokee info was saved or not I don't know. I do remember driving up to the plant in 86' or 87' to replace a cracked Cherokee stock a Friend had. Thats all I can tell ya about those.

Maybe Roundball knows the start date for the Cherokee?

My 1980 Dixie catalog has the TC Hawken and Seneca but no Cherokee.

The 1987 Dixie catalog shows the Cherokee.

The "Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Values" says the Cherokee was discontinued in 1994.

all I know about them is that the .36 Cherokee was only produced for 2 years....
I"LL bet that Roundball will chime in .

We had quite a friendly talk with the floor manager when we were there and I remember him alluding to the fact there seemed to be a big problem with cracked stocks in this model. It took about an hour but they replaced his stock and gave him a new ramrod free of charge.
