Thompson Center Hawken Year of Manufacture

[oldwolf]

Somewhere I thought we had a thread estimating T/C YOM based on serial numbers. I can't find it using the search function so I thought I'd ask you guys to see if you remember it. :hmm:

 

[patch box]

I believe the date of manufacture is either the first two numbers of the serial number or the last two numbers

The yom being part of the serial number is a CVA inline thing, but I don't think it is a TC thing.

 

[Swampman]

I have 2759XX....

Any idea when it was made?

Call T/C at: 603-332-2333 with your serial# & they will give you the info you seek.

Folks can call TC but don't be surprised when they say they can't help you.

As I recall the serial number records were among the things that were lost in the fire.

There's been lots of palavers about it, but the YOM estimates have been just speculation based on documented acqisitions by members (ie, members who have receipts, not just from memory). Problem with that is first purchase date can be years after MFG date of the firearm.

Not so.

Call T/C at: 603-332-2333 with your serial# & they will give you the info you seek.

Don't hold your breath. Common reply from TC is all muzzleloader records were lost in the plant fire, so they don't know for rifles built before it.
