tc
[:'(]just a note on the TC custom shop. I purchested a Senneca several years ago . It fired a few shots until the hammer cracked. called TC an was told they no longer made this model, also told they have no parts an will not make any. long story short, pricey custom gun sitting broken in gun safe.

RE: tc
I'm curious.. I own a lot of Thompson Center rifles but never had a hammer crack. Where is this crack? If it is something like Lee said, where a good welder could braze it, then smooth it off for appearance sake, I wonder why that would not hold.
I might be wrong, but there was a fire at the Thompson Center Company many years back and they lost an entire line of equipmentand machines. I am wondering if that model rifle partof yours was not in that lost machinery. So they no longer had parts unless they re-tooled.

RE: tc
While I agree that Thompson Center should provide the service, I am just stating there was an incident that might have a influence on all of this. I am sure parts run out or discontinued, andit happens with all the gun companies. For instance, I own a traditions rifle that I can not get parts for anymore. So I made due and fixed the rifle as best I could.
One other option is they could simply offer to replace the rifle, but then I am not too sure I would want to give up a Seneca as they were a really nice rifle when they came out. They were known for some excellent accuracy. And beautiful stocks. I'd simply get the hammer fixed somewhere else.
