Thompson Center Muzzleloader Vintage Hunting Black Powder
As the brainchild of Smith & Wesson, Thompson Center manufactures vintage muzzleloading guns. Regardless of whether or not you've had the muzzleloading gun for a while or you just received it, you may want to change out some parts. Look at the options for refurbishing or changing the appearance of your classic weapon.
What cleaning parts are available for the muzzleloader's barrel?A Thompson Center barrel takes a significant amount of ammunition in order to fire, creating a need for tools to clear the black powder out of the system. A ramrod is combined with cleanser pads and solution in order to clean the black powder out of the barrel. This process takes little time and ensures your vintage hunting weapon will be available to use for a long time. While you're wiping out the muzzleloader barrel, don't forget to take care of the muzzle's breech plug. Grease and proper maintenance will make sure this Thompson Center's critical part doesn't keep you out of the field due to wear and tear.
What materials are used in the design of the stock?The stock of the high-quality hunter guns can be made from either wood or a blend of wood composite. When consistently cleaned and maintained, you are able to see the curl of the wood, making this vintage piece very aesthetically pleasing. If you have a composite blend, the stock may have been blued for protection, giving it a slight hue. This makes it possible that, combined with regular cleaning, you won't have rust, corrosion, or other issues from the elements.
What calibers are available for the hunter tools' chamber?You can find muzzleloader's parts and assemblies for the black powder 0.54 or a 0.50 caliber. When loading the pellets, you'll want to make sure you're using the proper size pellets for your rifle's chamber. Firing the wrong size can cause damage to the rifle, chamber, or other critical parts. If you're unsure of your rifle's caliber, you can likely find it in your muzzleloading rifle's manual.
What types of sights or scopes are available?You can attach rails to your rifle, allowing you to customize the hunting weapon with a high-quality optical scope. There are also cast-iron sights available for your Thompson Center. When hunting, you don't always have a chance to fire off a second shot. These options will help you hit your target the first time, making your experience more efficient.
