Was trying to get the workshop ready for winter projects , by separating keepers and projects from guns and parts to sell.
As I was doing inventory on what I've collected over the years I mentioned to a friend I was thinking I had most of Thompson Center's Wood Stock Sidelocks.
Then he threw me a curve, he mentioned having a "TC Westerner model", when he was younger.
This made me wonder what other jewels I've missed. Here's my list, do you see anything missing ?

1. Hawkens 45,50 & 54 caliber
2. Renagade 50,54,56 (SB), 58 (Big Bore) caliber.
3. Senaca 32 ( the real unicorn), 36,&45 caliber
4. Cherokee 32, 36 &45 caliber.
5. Pennsylvania Hunter 50 caliber, & Pennsylvania hunter carbine ( still looking).
6. New Englander 12 gauge ( finally) , 50 & 54 caliber.
7. Cougar 50 caliber and 45 caliber.
8. White mountain carbine 50 & 54 caliber.
9. Cleland 40 caliber
 
They had the Black Mountain Magnum. Tree Hawk and Grey Hawk.ive got a couple of those

I think I may have a couple of those but was thinking "Wood stocks" not Tupperware. I found some info on the "Westerner" in a catalog,I think it may be a variation of the Black Mountain.

I recently bought/sold an Black Mountain Magnum, it's a nice gun. Don't forget that the New Englander had both wood and synthetic stocks.
 
There was also a Silver Elite, which I think was just another fancy Hawken.
Went digging in the safe looking for the Patriots and came across this one, remember buying it. The guy told me it was a Silver Elite, but once I saw it l realized it wasn't, furniture was right but barrel wasn't. Still don't know about it, need to start looking in to it.

Don’t forget that the treehawk and new englander could have been had with 12 gauge barrels. Also the 56 sb renegade. I know someone already mentioned renegade, but the smoothie was a bit different.
 
I have a 36 Patriot and 45 Seneca. I have a spot set aside for a 36 Seneca ( or Cherokee ) if you plan to sell.
