• Pennsylvania Right to Keep and Bear Arms Rally scheduled for 10:00AM on Monday May 6th, 2019 at the Harrisburg PA State Capital Building. I have a Thompson Center Flintlock (Right Handed) that I need some info on.
I bought it from my brother, who bought it used from a guy at work about 15 years ago. (Brother died years ago and I'm not sure who he bought it from.) It looks to be a Hawkin, but 'Hawkin' is not marked on it like it is on my Renegade. The fit and finish looks way too nice to be a kit gun, unless someone did a near perfect job on it. Typical Hawkin brass butt plate, patch box, etc.

Scrolling engraved on the case hardened lock. Barrel is only marked Thompson Center Arms, Rochester, New Hampshire Cal 50. Serial Number is 666X (X number not listed by me). Most of the research I did (internet) is showing large serial numbers or serial numbers with letters. Does anyone have a clue of what I actually have or how old it could really be???? To recollection those were and are still made in Rochester, New Hampshire. The quality was and is still high.
Download office 2016 offline installer. Thompson has been making those Hawkin type rifles since around 1970. Sometime, perhaps in the 1980s, the lawyer WARNING started to appear on the side of barrels. It's the standard thing about reading the instruction book and guns can kill you or shoot your eye out. Yours probably has a nice North American walnut stock on it too. Have owned maybe five of those Thompson Hawkins over the decades and can't remember any of them having the word ' Hawkin' on them.
I prefer flint lock over percussion any day of the week. When in the British army circa 1775, I was weened on the Brown Bess musket. Keeping your powder dry, flint sharp and frizzen hard became second nature.
Our record in firing with reloading, charging powder using ball, patch was four shots in one minute. That's every 15-seconds in the course of four-minutes.
Sure do miss the flintlocks! Sounds like you've got one of the even better older Thompson Hawkin rifles. I have a Thompson Center Flintlock (Right Handed) that I need some info on. I bought it from my brother, who bought it used from a guy at work about 15 years ago. (Brother died years ago and I'm not sure who he bought it from.)

Does anyone have a clue of what I actually have or how old it could really be????Probably 1970s, according to: Which would account for the sparse markings, and devoid of the ' HAWKEN' stamp like the later examples. T/C is mute on the topic. Last edited by PA Rifleman; June 6th, 2013 at 06:55 PM. Reason: typos.
