TC Patriot .45 Cal Manual

[oldwolf]

I found the supplemental manual online for the TC Patriot. However, I am looking for a copy of the original manual that I can download or order.
Does anyone have an idea where I can find a copy?
I've had this one for a while and never have gotten around to shooting it. I need to remedy that.
Mine is #36xxx, anyone know how to decode that to establish the year of manufacture?
Thanks.

The one I have I think is a photocopy. I couldn’t tell you where it came from. Just don’t remember.

That's a start. At least I know they are available somewhere.

They sure are easy on the eyes to behold. You may want to remove the grip cap and glass bed a piece of all-thread up the grip to the tang to strengthen against the stock breaking through the top of the wrist while loading in a stand which Patriots are prone to do.

A fine pistol, and very accurate. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. I am hoping to find the original manual though. Even a schematic would be helpful. I know it can't be too hard to disassemble/reassemble, but I'd like to have a reference before cleaning and lubricating the lockwork prior to shooting it for the first time. My guess is it has never been opened up since being manufactured.

This may help.

The single most important step in disassembly is, remove the ram rod prior to attempting removal of the barrel. Watch the entire video and go slow and easy.

The video was interesting but didn't really get deep into lock work disassembly. I built a Renegade years ago, so the T/C lockwork isn't alien to me. I will fly by memory and go slow and easy as you suggested.
