    Alter TC Stock

    That .50 Hawken will be a sloppy fit in a Renegade stock. The TC .50 caliber Hawken rifles were 15/16" across the flats, the Renegade is 1".

    Round ball for .58 caliber

    I've tried .575 balls in my 58 smoothie, they were worthless when fired bare ball and they're too fat to patch! A .562 patched with .015"ticking works really good!

    How tight??

    A question for those of you owning rifles that use a wedge to retain the barrel - How tight is tight enough? I remember reading many years ago that these slender, thin-walled forends will crack/split if the wedge is installed too tight, especially with heavy loads. I have always adjusted the fit...

    WANTED WTB Better Sights for my TC Renegade Flinter

    If remaining PC is important please remember that we, present-day shooters, did not invent the vision problems the come with advanced age. Peep sights were used back in the day, not the beautiful creations of Williams or Lyman of course, but functional nonetheless. A primitive but useful peep is...

    Rifle vs. Smoothbore

    First, consider WHERE you hunt. I live in western NY, shots at game, large or small, are close. State-wide, the average shot at a deer is 30-35 yards. Small game likewise. Around here a smoothbore is all anyone needs. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have a rifle but "need" one - no. A big plus...

    How do you measure the bore in a rifle?

    Someone put a LOT of love into that rifle when it was being built, look at the detailed work in the side view of the muzzle, gorgeous! I'd exhaust all possibilities on finding a load before I modified the gun. It seems to me, too, that the ball is too large, a .520" should be about right, with...

    Scottish Deer Rifle

    Yes, outstanding craftsmanship on this one! I, too, very much admire the pattern on the barrel.....if only that could be reproduced on our modern barrels.....

    Truoil/Armorall - Anybody tried this

    Yes, I've tried it, and YES, it really does work. I'm no chemist but somehow the Armorall speeds up the drying time of the Tr-Oil. I had an old single shot unmentionable that I finally found a brand new walnut stock for. I tried this combo to finish that stock and put 17 coats of Tru-Oil on the...

    Rebore Advice

    The New Englander barrel is a round or octagon to round, correct? If so, that may limit the bore diameter it can be enlarged to. Measure the depth of all the screw holes and dovetails. Now double the depth of the deepest holes or dovetail. Subtract that from the outside diameter of the barrel at...

    Diy shotgun

    Bobby Hoyt bored out an old Renegade barrel (1" ATF) for me to .58 caliber smoothbore (24 gauge). He told me he had bored them as big as .62 caliber (20 ga.) depending on the depth of the screw holes and dovetails, as necchi had mentioned above. A 12 ga. bore is .732", measure the diameter of...

    Well, yeah, you can do that........or you can convert 22 LR rounds quickly and easily. I know what you're gonna' say, "22 ammo ain't cheap!!!". No it's not, but in most places you can buy 22 LR cheaper than you can buy caps. Cuz THEY AIN'T NO CAPS!!! Seriously, you can find 22's for less than...
