#Thompson center serial number dates manual

There are some older posts in this forum from about a year ago describing what they did, if you are interested. Some guys with mechanical skills have tweaked their own guns and got them running fine without going back to the factory. I hope you have one of the good ones, but if you don't, T/C has stood behind the Classics and made it right. I sent it back again, and they replaced the rifle with a new one. According to the best information I can find, in 1992 Thompson Center improved the lockup on the TCR receivers to handle the recoil from magnum cartridges, added some magnum barrels, and reintroduced. Don't know of any way to get a date of manufacture for the TCRs based on serial numbers. I returned the gun to them and first they replaced the fire control mechanism (trigger assembly) and sent me a new magazine, but it didn't work well. My go to deer and hog rifle is an 83 Aristocrat in 7X65R.

#Thompson center serial number dates serial numbers

I checked the site you gave, and all the stainless serial numbers begain with a single letter S. Some Colt guns had an additional serial number marked on the receiver under the grip mount. The serial number of the Colt Thompsons was stamped on the left side of the receiver as well as on the trigger frame. The first unique feature is the way the barrel. The model designation MODEL OF 1921 was marked on the left side at the center of the receiver. Thompson Center may have the best customer service in the industry, they stood behind their product all the way. I am also interested in information on the Contender G2 I recently bought. Thompson Tool Company had been searching for a product to manufacture year-round. I had one in the 44xx range that had too many failure to fire, basically light firing pin strikes. There are many low serial number guns with no issues. They are as scarce as frog fur.There were some jamming issues with some of the low serial numbers, those under 5,000. If you find a 1-20 Omega you will be one lucky dude. TC exchanged them for 1-28 twist barrel which were more friendly to the bullet/sabot combos of the day. Sabot technology/materials were not up to task when it came to fast twist barrels back then. 45's were 1-20 twist but most of them were sent back to TC due to accuracy issues.

This warranty is granted by Smith & Wesson Corp. The highest serial number I have seen is in the 80,000's where as with the. I've probably had 35 Omegas and I've seen a lot of different combos of parts from what I believe were factory rifles History edit Warren Center, working in his basement shop in the 1960s, developed a unique, break-action, single-shot pistol. I believe TC built Omegas with what parts were on hand that's why there are overlapping features on different models. The Thompson/Center Contender is a break-action single-shot pistol or rifle that was introduced in 1967 by Thompson/Center Arms. The serial number on the firearm is 174, which from what i was able to research dates the manufacture to 1975. Somewhere in-between those two serial numbers the dies were changed to reflect the Bridgeport address of Auto-Ordnance. The Dream Season had the same barrel as the X7 but was a true lite weight version of the Omega due to the lite weight stock(not sure of the material).These descriptions are general. I have a Thompson Auto Ordnance 1927 a1 model carbine chambered in. To date, the highest serial number 1928 model documented with Auto-Ordnance’s New York address has been S-75115, while the lowest serial number 1928 model recorded with a Bridgeport address has been S-83818. All the Z5's I've had were with plastic stocks. Later, TC went to painted barrels, with the 'Weathershield blued' version having the SS action and the ' Weathershield SS' version having the Blued action. a few of the early ones had true SS and blued barrels and blued actions. The Z5's were the last version of the Omega. If you're referring to the X7, it had the shorter barrel with fluting and milled flats back by the breech and a single ramrod thimble.
