Thompson Center 45 cal **Seeking Info**

[jpc]

Hello:

This is an early serial numbered rifle. It does not have a model name and has a case coloured trigger guard.
The bore is greased and I found grease on the barrel when I removed the stock.
No evidence of it being dry fired or used other than handling marks on the wood. Odd thing is I can see polishing marks under the blue. Any thoughts on the earlier T/C's and what model would this be?

take care and thanks

If you post that question at this site http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/ , under the percussion forum, I guarantee that someone will give you a detailed answer. Some of those folks love the old TC caplocks.
