Manufacturer: Thompson Center Arms  Type: Black Powder Rifle  Model: N/A Caliber: .50  Barrel Length: 29" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: No Log: N/A Serial Number (S/N): K116458 Reference Number (Ref #): N/A This is a Thompson Center Arms .50 caliber black powder rifle. While the exact model designation is not marked, this example reflects Thompson Center’s well-known craftsmanship in traditional sidelock muzzleloaders. It features a 29-inch barrel, likely a blued finish, with standard open sights and a hardwood stock typical of classic Thompson Center designs. The rifle uses a percussion cap ignition system and is set up for shooting patched round balls or conical projectiles with loose black powder or approved substitutes. This example bears serial number K116458 and is in fair overall condition. The stock shows handling marks and wear consistent with regular use, while the metal surfaces display some finish loss but remain solid. The bore and lock mechanism should be inspected before firing, as with any older muzzleloader. As a traditional black powder firearm, this rifle is not classified as a modern firearm under federal law and does not require an ATF Form 4473 for transfer. A straightforward example of a classic sidelock muzzleloader from Thompson Center Arms.
