thompson center muzzlelloader the serial starts with an S does that signify what model it is

[nit wit]

t/c muzzle loader records were destroyed in a factory fire, no info available on these, since yours does not say renegade and does not likely have the "black powder only" warning on the barrel it is an earlier one.

That is an urban legend. Some of the Tooling and wood shop burned. No records were lost. Go to Facebook and join Thompson Center Enthusiasts. Deester has records. S does not mean shotgun, they were marked on the barrel,12 GA.

As others have said, TC used various inspectors Mark's over the years so an 'S' on the barrel would have no significance. At the time of my post we didn't know what model he had so, my response was in case he had a New Englander or one of the other round barrel models that were available as a shotgun. Rifled New Englanders & etc serial #'s start with an 'R' and the 12 gauge models start with an 'S'.
