    What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Percussion guns?

    Love my late-1980s T/C .50 Renegade. Added Williams FP Hawken peep sight, Lyman globe front sight and R.E. Davis Deerslayer double-set trigger. It’s a dream to shoot and more accurate than my 74-year-old eyes sometimes allow. It’s a PRB shooter.

    Love Track of the Wolf, have helped me to no end over the years. A top-flight resource for BP shooters.

    It’s Sunday afternoon in Northern Oklahoma and it’s 74 degrees in February. Finally was able to take my .50 Renegade to the range to fine tune Williams FP-Hawken peep sight and Lyman globe on bench. 1st two shots were the left and right outliers, other 8 were on the money. .490 round balls with...

    TC Tang Sight

    I actually have the same question. I have a Williams FP-Hawken peep on my T/C Renegade.

    TC Tang Sight

    I have a .50 Renegade in 333xxx range and just 2 drilled holes. Found a tang on eBay with 3 holes and switched them out to mount a Williams FP-Hawken peep sight. Got lucky finding it.

    OK, it’s 9 degrees outside and -13 wind chill in Northern Oklahoma on my first Saturday off work in 21 years. I won’t be hauling out my .50 GPR and heading to the range to keep testing BP loads, various patch materials or several different lubes. I need to make smoke and I can’t. It’s just too...

    .54 Lyman Great Plains Rifle Review

    Found 57 sight too boxy as well and not as sturdy as Williams FP

    Williams Peep Sights on T/C Hawken

    I installed a Williams FP Hawken peep on my .50 T/C Renegade and added a Lyman 17a front globe sight. Matched perfectly, works great. This was one of the first targets after installation of new peep/globe combination while I was still sighting in and getting used to peep.

    .54 Lyman Great Plains Rifle Review

    Love my Lyman .50 GPR and I still am good with buckhorn sight but eyes (and me) are 74 years old so that is changing. Installed Williams peep sight on my .50 T/C Renegade along with a Lyman front globe a year ago and it really improved my targets on that rifle. Was thinking about doing same on...

    I love to repurpose things … like old Sucrets and newer Altoids tins, an old 1930s-era library table for a work bench, wood pallets for a host of outdoor things and old found-in-a-closet cammo pants to make sand bags for bench resting my BP rifles at range. I let my imagination take over. Oh...

    After breaking the original ramrod and a purchased substitute on my late 1980s T/C .50 Renegade, slicing the base of my right hand at base of index finger on first break, and tearing into base of right thumb on second ramrod break and losing all feeling on the side of said thumb, bought a...

    Weather finally cooperated and made it to the range this morning. 39 degrees, no wind, 35 yards with .50 cal. T/C Renegade with peep sight, PRB with .015 linen patches, mink oil lube, 60 grains Graff FF. Turned 74 on the 15th and eyes aren’t nearly what they were, but I’ll take it. First time at...

    Finally got around to fixing up a work table out back under covered porch after move to new wife’s house after losing my garage work bench. Nothin’ fancy but it works. Used an old 1930s-era library table from old family print shop, adding vise and homemade screwdriver holder. Nothing like...

    Made it to the gun range this morning. Really nice session with PRBs and Graf’s 2f, .018 pillow ticking and TOTW mink oil In my .50 Renegade. Still getting used to peep sight and Lyman globe plus a 15 mph crosswind but not bad with aging eyes. Best stress reliever on the planet.

    Need a little banter on a maybe purchase

    Love my .50 percussion GPR. It shoots way better with open sights than anything I’m doing with aging eyes. It’s a shooter.
