35 whelen yes. A Thompson Center Encore was not allowed for primitive season because it was not a reproduction. Has that changed recently? I'm not talking about the round I'm talking about the gun.

An excerpt from Act 68 Passed in 2012 Legislative Session.
The new definition of a legal firearm for the primitive firearm season will now include: single shot, breech loading rifles, .35 caliber or larger, having an exposed hammer that uses metallic cartridges loaded either with black powder or modern, smokeless powder.
