Assembly Of YourThompson/Center MuzzleloaderWhen you purchase your T/C Muzzleloading Rifle, it may have beenpackaged disassembled. Assembly is easy:1. Remove the ramrod from the thimbles under the barrel.2. Insert the hooked breech of the barrel into the slot of the tang making surethat it engages fully.3. Tip barrel down into the barrel channel in the stock. If properly engaged,there will be only a slight tension to overcome. Once the barrel has been fullyseated in the stock, insert the wedge pin through the escutcheon hole andthe wedge pin slot of the barrel. The pin should fit tightly and you may haveto tap it in place (lightly) with a mallet or appropriate tool.NOTE: If, when pulling the barrel down into the stock, there appears to beexcessive resistance, stop and check to ensure the hooked breech is fully engagedinto the slot in the tang. If these two are not engaged fully, it will causethe barrel to hang incorrectly, and when forced into the stock, may cause thestock to split.4. Once the barrel has been assembled to the stock, insert the ramrodthrough the thimbles.CutawayShowingTangHooked BreechEscutcheonWedgePinCutaway ShowingHooked Breechin Tang.9
