Can't seem to find the date on-line.

Does anyone know the actual year or date when T/C introduced their QLA installed barrels?

Which T/C model was first to have the QLA's? (Traditional or Inline)

Thanks, for the refreshing of this old memory feller/s.

I got my TC Hawken in '91. It was around then or just after. I do remember seeing TC adverts for their plastic chargers designed for use with the QLA. Loved TC/Fox Ridge.

The only handy source that I have, are my old TC catalogs . ....

Cat. # 20, 1993; Does not reference the QLA.
Cat. # 23, 1996; Does reference the QLA and in fact, list it on their cover and make a big deal out of it. ....

This will at least, give you a window to work with and hope it helps. ...

Be Safe !!!
