This Pennsylvania Hunter configuration centers on a 31 inch steel barrel with an octagon-to-round profile, under-rib, and ramrod thimbles. The long sight radius complements the tang-mounted adjustable aperture rear sight and the hooded/globe-style front sight, offering a precise and repeatable sight picture.
The lockplate shows color case-hardening with scroll engraving, adding a traditional touch. An S-shaped hammer and single trigger complete the classic percussion setup. The breech flat includes an in-the-white area around the roll marks, as noted.
The hardwood half-stock uses a single wedge for retention and has a straight comb for a consistent cheek weld. A steel buttplate with the TC logo finishes the stock, while sling swivels (included) support carry options in the field.
The rifle has a blued finish and is intended for use with black powder or Pyrodex only, per the barrel warning. Capacity is one round, as expected for a muzzleloader, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
