Use an Investarms lock or grind a notch in the TC lock. Very minor if any work required to swap lnvestarm/TC locks.

Isn't the Investarms barrel 7/8" across the flats? If so there would be a gap in the fore stock of the Renegade as it is milled for 1" across the flats.

No. It’s a metric equivalent of 15/16ths. The Lyman 58 barrel l bought one time to put on a Hawken wouldn’t go in the 15/16ths barrel channel and was just a tad undersized for the Renegade stock.
