Thompson Center “New Englander” 54 Caliber Percussion BP Rifle New Hampshire

Serial #K05497, .54 Caliber percussion black powder muzzle loader. This is a Rochester, NH marked “New Englander” model black powder rifle expertly assembled from a kit (denoted by the “K” prefix in the serial number). In excellent condition the barrel retains about 96-98% of the original blue finish showing a few light scratches with the receiver and hammer showing much of the original case colors. The walnut stock is about excellent with some light scratches and use marks. It sports an original TC marked butt plate with and has a wood ramrod. A classic very well made NH Thompson in high condition – these are getting harder to find. Antique
