yes they did-very handy (light weight) and accurate small charge
Being a 5 digit serial number puts it early in production , most likely early 80's. However the Hawken was not produced by Thompson Center in .36 caliber, they did make a drop in replacement barrel in .36, but they are very rare. I suspect you may have the Seneca model, this you can determine by measuring across the barrel, flat side to flat side. The Seneca will measure 13/16" across the flats. A Hawken will measure 15/16". The Seneca also has a patch box that is rounded towards the but vs. the Hawken being pointed towards the but. If it is a Seneca .36 in 95% + condition it could be worth in the $500 to 700 range, the Hawken with the .36 drop in barrel would be in the neighborhood of 450 +/-
Thompson Center Arms introduced the .50 caliber New Englander muzzleloader in 1975. It was designed for hunters and enthusiasts seeking a versatile and reliable black powder rifle. The New Englander was notable for its interchangeable barrels and ease of use, contributing to its popularity during its production years.
