*SOLD* Thompson Center System 1 12Ga Blue *INTERCHANGEABLE SHOTGUN/RIFLE DESIGN*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

Thompson Center was proud to introduce a completely new muzzleloading shooting concept called the System I In-Line Rifle. This new concept features complete takedown capabilities, with a removable breech plug and an interchangeable barrel system. After studying the requirements needed to make a removable breech plug that would combine safety, reliability, and ease of cleaning, they are introducing an innovation in breech plug design called the taper-lock breech plug, which features a tapered thread design that locks into a matching barrel extension taper to prevent ignition gasses from entering the thread area of the breech.

This not only prevents thread fouling but also eliminates the possibility of escaping gasses being returned to the action area of the rifle. The chamber design of the breech plug allows the powder to be loaded into the chamber and reduces the amount of distance the primer fire must travel before ignition, thus assuring the fastest ignition time of any muzzleloader available today. Barrel interchangeability allows the barrel to be removed for cleaning, and once the breech plug is taken out, the barrel is as easy to clean as your favorite shotgun barrel.
 
Interchangeable barrels allow you to choose a .32 cal., .50 cal., .54 cal., .58 cal., and 12 ga. shotgun. Within seconds, you can convert your System I from a .50 cal. Deer rifle to a .32 cal. Small game rifle or a 12 ga. turkey gun, at less than half the cost of an additional muzzleloader. Interchangeability, T/C accuracy, and the quality you have always enjoyed from Thompson/Center products.
