Thompson/Center is considered one of the leading modern manufacturers of black-powder guns – their product offerings just keep getting better with each new gun. The Triumph .50 cal. is no different and definitely lives up to its namesake. The Triumph ushers in a new era of innovation as the first-ever, non-FFL break-open gun from T/C. This new magnum muzzleloader is destined to be the center of attention for black-powder enthusiasts due to its toggle-lock action that allows you to break the gun open and get tip-up access to the barrel. The lever-action design works the same as the Omega, where you pull the trigger guard lever down. But, with only four moving parts on this gun, there's no need to remove the trigger group, bolt or barrel – the barrel and stock break open like your favorite shotgun. This new break-open design provides easier access to the breech area for priming and cleaning, as well as access to the 209 primer. To make things even easier, T/C created the Speed Breech XT™ – the first breech plug that can be removed by hand simply by turning the breech 90 degrees. With only four moving parts, there is no need to remove the trigger group, disassemble or use tools to clean the rifle.Triumph™ Muzzleloader, .50 Cal., 28" Weather Shield™ Barrel, 209 Primer Ignition, Composite Stock with REALTREE® AP HD™ Camo; scope and mounts not included. No. 8512 Weather Shield Advanced metal coating for corrosion protection and durabability. The only breech plug that can be removed by hand. No tools required... 90° and out. The Triumph is available in the New REALTREE® AP HD™ Pattern. Alloy receiver reduces the weight and balances the rifle for natural handling.

Speed Breech XT™ (patent pending) can be removed by hand by rotating only 90 degrees. Locking Lugs Opening series of locking lugs on Speed Breech XT™ prevent the breech plug from getting seized. Three gas compression rings (patent pending) on the face of Speed Breech XT™ eliminates 95% of the corrosive fouling. Factory set trigger with automatic hammer block safety. All triggers come factory set at 3 to 3.5 pounds. Scope optional.
