Thompson Center Cal 56 SB stock replacement

[johnwarns]

I recently purchased this smoothbore; unfortunately it arrived with a crack from the lock diagonally to almost the trigger guard. I can’t tell how deep it is but even if it’s shallow it makes me nervous. Is anyone selling replacement stocks for this gun? If not will a stock for another model work?

If I were you I would contact Thompson Center & ask them about stock replacement, cost etc. I am assuming this is a second hand purchase? Broken stocks have been repaired for hundreds of years by wrapping the stock in rawhide. Without seeing your stock & will not comment on the suitability of repairing it in such a manner, you are the best judge of that.

I'll email them and see, thanks for the suggestion.

My 56 SB has the same stock my nephews 54 Renegade has so any inch barrel renegade stock should work check the evilbay

Thompson Center no longer has parts (including stocks) for this gun.

Here is one, it looks like there is some interest in it so no telling what the final bid will be.

According to T/C a renegade stock will not work. However by the time I got their email I had already ordered one. Guess what they were wrong it fits perfectly, thank you for the advice.

It's the barrel size that matters. The 56 smoothbore uses a 1" across the flats barrel, the same as a Renegade. So a Renegade stock will fit your 560smooth bore barrel but a T/C Hawken with its 15/16" across the flats barrel would not be an exact replacement unless it was built for a 54 caliber rifle or a 56 caliber smooth bore barrel.
