Most of the Cougars were made before TC introduced the wrist strengthening kit consisting of the long front tang bolt which goes all the way down through the stock, through the trigger plate, and threads into the trigger guard.

The other had a GM barrel and the patch showed small rust. There was two ML there so I ran patches down both. It was then this old cat needed a litter box! Trying to hold in my emotions I asked if I could run a patch down the barrel. Then this old cat looked on the barrel and saw Thompson Center 50. Looked at the butt plate and nice tight fit. I'm thinking where in the heck is the blue or the brass? I flip the gun upside down and the fitting looked great. And sounded like TC ran the cougar late 80s to early 90s.Īnyhow, Went to a gun show today and ran into this ML with stainless furniture.

Then I disassembled the clamp and screw and used the perfectly certered dimple to complete the drilling and tapping process for a 10-32 screw. That assured the drill remained centered on the tang and in the proper location. Then I used a drill bit that exactly fit the hole in the sight to make a deep dimple in the tang. one part of the C was against the left side of the tang & sight and the other part of the C was against the right side of the tang & sight, thereby aligning the sight and tang perfectly).

Then I put a small C-clamp mounted sideways near the front of the assembly so the sight could not move side-to-side (i.e. To get it exactly centered, I removed the tang from the gun and used the rear tang screw to screw the tang and sight to a block of wood. The other did not, so I had to drill and tap it. One tang had a factory hole between the two tang screws. I have a TC Vernier sight on one Hawken and a TC Hunter Peep on another.
