How do you tell how old a Thompson black powder gun is?
Thompson Center has no official published serial number list, but I can usually tell a general age by the model and serial number. The model is in most cases engraved on the barrel, ie Cherokee, Seneca, Hawken, New Englander, Renegade etc. and the serial number is stamped on the barrel itself or on the breech plug. You can also contact Thompson Center directly and they may be able to help.

What type of ammunition can be fired from a 54 cal cougar black powder muzzle loader?
If it is a Thompson Center Cougar it is meant to fire a patched round ball or mini ball style round, (conical lead bullet aka maxi hunter, buffalo bullet etc.) With the relatively slow twist of the rifling 1:48 it will fire Sabot bullets but will not be as accurate at ranges past 125 yards, Maximum powder charge should not exceed 100 grains. All in all it is the same mechanically as the Hawken .54 and I believe you can still download the manual at the Thompson Center website.
