Hi all, just picked up a thompson center impact .50 cal and i'm wondering can you buy accessory kits for this type rifle or do you have to buy everything piece meal? I f there are kits, who makes them? thanks

When I purchased my impact it came with the kit thats in the link below, although I chose to shoot hornady sabots instead. Alll I needed was powder and I was set. With this kit all you need is a rod from a gun cleaning kit and your set. I highly recommend this set to beginners. I had a hard time getting it clean with just solvent, but the kit comes with a cleaner that takes the nasty residue out of the barrel like nothing!

the best load i have come up with is 250 gr shockwaves with 90 grains if triple 7 loose powder,,you have to get a good solvent to clean the plastics out of the barrel,,every 25 rounds or so
