Hello,
I recently came into a T/C Renegade in .54 caliber. It has the dual trigger system. When setting the rear trigger first, the front trigger breaks at about 12oz. One thing I noticed just pulling the front trigger alone is rather light. About 2.5lbs…I pulled the lock off and comparing it to another one I have it looks like the former owner had done some polishing; the metal is white as you can see in the photo. (The first three photos are of the lock with the lighter pull)….
Another lock I happened to have; pulling the front trigger breaks at about 6-8lbs and after setting the rear trigger breaks at 12oz…looking at the contact areas ( photos) you see it has that black oxide type finish. My question is; is the lock that has been modified safe to use? I’ve banged the butt of the stock on the bench a few times with the hammer back and a rubber stopper on the nipple and the hammer didn’t fall. Should I trust this when I’m hunting? Thanks.
