Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Produced by Thompson/Center Arms in Rochester, New Hampshire, the T/C Scout pistol represents one of the most innovative single-shot black powder handguns of its era. Designed with a robust, heavy-duty receiver featuring an internal striker mechanism cocked by a unique external spur hammer, the Scout combined the accuracy and power of a 12-inch .50 caliber barrel with the classic aesthetic of solid brass accents and smooth American walnut furniture. Highly regarded by black powder hunters, target shooters, and muzzleloading enthusiasts for its balance, crisp trigger break, and long sight radius, the T/C Scout has become an increasingly collectable piece of Thompson/Center history.
This exact pistol, serial number 17296, is chambered in .50 Caliber for black powder or Pyrodex loads. It features a 12-inch blued round steel barrel, matte-finished receiver, solid brass trigger guard and backstrap, fully adjustable target rear sight, ramped front sight, and smooth walnut stock panels and forend. Under federal law, as a non-fixed ammunition black powder muzzleloader, this handgun qualifies as an Antique classification and ships directly to your door without an FFL transfer (where state and local laws allow). Presenting in great condition throughout with smooth mechanical action, crisp hammer cocking, bright brass accents, and a clean bore, this Thompson/Center Arms Scout .50 Caliber Muzzleloader is an outstanding choice for black powder enthusiasts, target marksmen, or T/C collectors.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your door/FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
