Thompson Center Replacement Patch Box
« on: September 10, 2016, 12:13:46 PM »
I believe Thompson Center used to sell a replacement patch box that was made of steel. Does anyone know where I might find one?
Thanks

That's a new one on me.
I know the Hawken Shop sold some T/C replacement parts of steel, like trigger guard, nosecap, etc.  I seem to recall they had a patch box as well.  You might check that out.

PS  In the meantime, I did just go on their website and did not see their replacement patchbox listed at all.  IIRC, it was not a direct replacement but a totally separate item that would require a lot of inletting to install.  I dunno, maybe Track or Dixie has something that would work?

I have seen the steel patch-box, not sure where it was but I've seen 'em, and I really liked 'em.
I have also seen the steel "Pineapple"....

I have thought several times that I was going to give the pineapple a whirl, but I ain't got me one of them round-to-its yet, but I might make it happen this winter.

pretty sure T/C never made a steel patchbox for the Hawken. they made the Hawken custom in the Fox Ridge shop with all blue trim but, it didn't have a patchbox. likely you'll hafta color a brass one with brass-black, aluminum-black, or cold blue. or make yer own.
