Does anyone know anything about this gun made by T/C? It has a 21 inch barrel and 1-20 twist.

I had the trigger worked on but it never got much better.
The front sight is so coarse it covers up most of the front half of a deer at 50 yards. I also had trouble finding a bullet that would shoot well and I tried everything I could get my hands on. Eventually I settled on the heaviest .50 bullet from Buffalo Bullets.
I still feel guilty about selling it to someone else.
Please keep us informed of your experience with the peep sight. Is that a tang peep or on the barrel?Saxtonyoung said:Thompson Center Catalog#20 shows the WMC with the following twist.

The Barrels of the 45 and 50 Will both fit in the stock of a TC Hawken with a 15/16" barrel channel if the the under rib is shortened. The Barrel of the 54 will fit in a Hawken or Renegade stock with a 1" barrel channel if the under rib is shortened. This would allow you to have a nice carbine with double set triggers.
I recently done some experimented with my 50 WMC using some paper patch bullet out to 75 yards with the stock iron sight and am convinced that it shows a lot of promise. My next move will be to install a peep sight to take advantage of the longer sight radius.
For those looking for a carbine barrel with a fast twist to shoot Conicals or Sabots ,the 50 WMC may satisfy that desire.
Did you buy the WMC?rangerod said:Does anyone know anything about this gun made by T/C? It has a 21 inch barrel and 1-20 twist.
Yes. It should be here early next week. I have a friend with the identical gun and it has a great trigger. Shoots gr8 with 300 grn xtp and 80 grns ffg 777. It is my understanding that after the 1-20 twist T/C decided to downgrade the gun because they didn't think they'd sell many. Honestly if it wasn't 1-20 twist I wouldn't have bought it.QuinnTheEskimo said:Did you buy the WMC?rangerod said:Does anyone know anything about this gun made by T/C?
