Just curious...anybody ever replace a TC Renegade barrel with a smaller caliber, say .32? I bought one used years ago and was never impressed with it. But it sure would make a neat little plinker

70 Cal.
It would be a custom contrivance but not a complicated one. It would be kinda heavy.
Yeah the weight would be kinda counter active in teaching my kids how to shoot. I would probably be better off putting the money towards a .32 Crockett
At one time, I had every drop in barrel that was available for a T/C Renegade. The .32 barrels were accurate, but very heavy (6+lbs) for field use. I still have a .36 cal barrel that is heavy, but not too heavy. It too is very accurate, and I use it mostly for called in coyotes. The .32 I had was set up for target work from the bench with a vernier tang site and globe front site. I could put 5 shots into a dime at 25 yards with that gun from the bench using 20 grains of 3f and a full caliber (.320) ball with a .010 greased patch.
Does anyone still offer small caliber drop in barrels that you know of?
Check with Tip Curtis he may still have some. He advertises in Muzzle Blast, I don’t have his number handy however.
If he doesn’t have a drop in ask if he has any GM . 32 barrels , I know he has the plugs, under ribs , screws and such.
As too .32.Renegades, I had a Renegade I put a .32,GM drop in barrel on, it was a tack driver...
But you needed wheels on it, I think those barrels were 1”x 32” . A lot of steel, with a little hole.

Got one .40 bore Renegade left.
28" barrel. The weight isn't bad.
The other small bore was 38" long, the kind of bar you want trying to get a stump out of the ground. It got turned into to a .52 bore for paper patching fifty caliber rifle molds and renamed Navarone. Slightly misleading because it doesn't have radar ranging but hey, it's the spirit that counts.

If you get a .32 drop in and it is too heavy at 32", cut 10 inches off and regrown and add a front sight. Then you can make a nice .32 target/squirrel pistol to match the rifle.
