Serialization for Thompson / Center firearms is problematic. We apologize because we did not record the serial numbers off all the muzzleloaders we sold over the past forty some odd years. We further apologize that we will not be able to take questions or date guns for everyone, we don't have time for that, and our Mr. Sullivan simply cannot forward and reply. We do welcome new and reliable information on Thompson Center serialization.
Here are simply notes we have taken from our A&D Firearms records since 1969. The used specimens we have marked, but a fairly good rule of thumb is that they were usually 1 to 3 years old. GGS is George's Gun Shop, a distributor in Louisville that we did business with from the 1950s until Mr. Hoferkamp's retirement in the late 1990s. EB is Ellett Brothers. Mid-South is Mid South Shooters Supply in New Market, TN. SGI was Shiloh Guns, a Mississippi Distributor. OSHI and Dayton GH were Ohio distributors.
