The short answer is yes it can. I'm a muzzleloader gunsmith and T/C dealer of 30 years. I can remove it with a special tool, but I wont and neither should you. There is no reason to ever remove a breech plug from any traditional muzzleloader. Removal is not necesary for cleaning and I dont see any other reson to remove one. Of the few I have taken off, some took over a week and a six foot cheater bar to get off. Some just wrung off. T/C used to sell a tool for removing the breech plugs but customers using them were screwsing up the threads and sending them in for warrenty work. After that, about 1980, they started putting them on so tight and with so much industrial locktite, they are almost impossible to remove. Once again, I've never encountered a need or reason to remove one. RamblinMan

yes it will fit the tree hawk , sporter, new englander, greyhawk. and black mountain magnum are all the same stock.
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.
Thompson Center Arms was created in 1965.
You can download the manual for the TC Scout at the Thompson Center website www.tcarms.com that shows the take-down on the Scout and has all the info for care and cleaning as well as recommended and maximum load data. Just be careful when removing the breech plug not to bugger the the end, the scout tool can be helpful but is not a necessity.
