Thoughts on T/C back in action

[Ruff Hunter]

This year T/C is supposed to be producing USA made guns again back in NH. I did a google search and it "hinted" that among the new/old offerings will be the Hawken. I'm excited about that. I wonder if they will produce the exact same rifle or make some changes to it...My bet is if there is any change, it will probably be the sticker price.

I'm Hoping the T/C Hawken, if it comes back will be priced to compete with Italian imports. If its not then, My money will definitely go to Ohio for a New Hawken variant.

What were the nature of those "hints"? If only hinted it almost seems like fishing for marketing possibilities.

So far, nothing more than wishful thinking is backing up that TC will do anything other than single shot cartridge rifles, bolt rifles, and encore handguns.

Although I really like the Hawken, I'd suggest they do the New Englander, and include the 12 gauge barrel, giving the market a traditional sidelock "one gun for everything" and allow the shooter to choose .45 or .54.

That would make a lot of sense from a practical point and a marketing perspective.

I'd like to see the Cherokee come back too.

Product support for the existing TC owners, i have 5, all operating, but i would like to upgrade wearing parts, . Hint hint Greg Ritz !

It's all encore platform for now. Seems Smith Wesson had enough parts that they can get a product to market quickly -so new ownership gets some revenue rather than running for months on borrowed money. I'd like to see the sidelock muzleloaders return, but I don't know how they're going to do it at a competitive price with the Spanish imports.

With the states starting to implement primitive seasons, they should mfg. sidelocks, lets go for quality and longevity . right now Pa. has its flintlock season going on then ill head to Maryland for the 3 day primitive season.

"With the states starting to implement primitive seasons,"

Most states are not traditional, the other kind of M/L are used.
