Slimmed Down Renegades?

Anyone have slimmed down Renegades to post photos of?
Stocks slimmed down?
Barrels with the octagon stepped down or turned to be octagonal to round?
Trigger guards altered?
Hope so. Looking at Renegades as a resource to work with and looking for ideas on modifications.

I have a couple of Renegade Hunters. They have the single trigger. While they were accurate I love the finger hook on the double trigger guns. I decided to change them a while back. I should have found someone with some welding skills. I brazed them on and filled with two part epoxy.

i got a couple renegades and i would also like to see any renegade with modifications. i have a .50 and a .54 the .50 was my little brothers rifle that my mom gave me after his death and the .54 i bought new. i don't shoot the .50 much but have done a lot of shooting with the .54 and have found that it is one of the best grouping rifles with rounds balls i have shot. i would love to sand it down in some places and dress it up with some silver. it has a nice factory finish on it but i kind of like a dull looking finish. i would like to change the sights also but i just don't know what other sight would look good on it. i did change the thick front blade sight with a factory t/c hawken bead sight, i found it made sighting in on the target a lot better, but still it covers most of a small target. i got a sight in the making that i'm making out of a hammered down nickle.

have one each 50-54-58-62 cal.flint

Some beer came out my nose. :rotf:

Ron, did you need to make any modifications to the rifle to install that Lyman peep??

I don't have a Renegade slimmed down, but I do have a highly modified White mountain carbine.



Wrist thinned, barrel cut and browned. Made a butt plate for shortened stock. Left lock plate in the white.

Question for 22fowl....Are those ebony tips added on?

I have a Renegade with the stock redone, and slimmed and reshaped at the comb and grip. It has a .62 smooth bore barrel.




It has an Armi-Sport choked .62 barrel, that I found at a flea market.

I have a renegade that I replaced the stock on with a piece of curly maple. Dave Keck duplicated the stock for me out of my maple and Jim Owens put it all together. Both do great work as you can see. I have two Green Mountain drop ins for it in .62. One is rifled and the other is a smoothbore. She is a shooter and a sparker.

Me too. I'm interested in a nose cap horn or pewter or .... Looking for ideas. Renegade stock, GM .54 barrel, L&R lock. Going to reshape the trigger guard or use one from Hawken Shop.

Guys that is buffalo horn. internal pins
Like all t/c rifles there's more than enough wood to remove..too high of combs wrist too thick forearms slab sided web to thick etc.
They are fun to practice on for building from scratch.
I look at it like first step to this building hobby.
Make it your own and enjoy! I sure Have :thumbsup:

That is not only the nicest Renegade that I have ever seen, but also just a beautiful rifle by itself.

Very well done.

Oh, now I can see, that is horn. Nice job.

Great improvement! Looking Good!

58 caliber

That sure is a nice looking rifle. gives me some ideas too.

I actually modified the sight.

I have also made spacers to give me more yardage adjustment and to clear the stock.
