thompson center renegade rear sight.

I picked up a T/C renegade in 54 cal. some one abused the rear sight and parts are missing. Muzzleloaders.com has an investarms rear sight that is looks exactly like it. On there chat line they can't give me the spacing for the mounting screws. Any one have any idea if it will fit. Want it get this in shooting order rest of the gun looks good, early 4 digit serial #

Inch to metric ain’t always exact. I have swapped sights between TC & Investarm Hawkens but had to take a needle file to one hole or the other.

Given the way those particular sights fit against the octagon flats of the barrel.,
One screw will hold it firmly in place, at least I haven't run into problems with the sight shifting.
It's a rifle not a war club,

Yes & no. If it's the Renegade/later Hawken type that'll work. If it's the earlier Hawken/Investarm sight the thin loop is in the very end of the sight & will spring up with only one screw in it. And if it's a really late model it may have a Williams sight that only uses one screw to start with.

Now that I think about it your right.
Folks, follow @bubba.50 's advice here!
I put a Renegade sight on a GM drop-in, fitted to an Investarms Hawken with one screw,, and replaced the front with a taller aftermarket so I could file for height.
Talk about a mix-n-match huh?
But I do love those Renegade sights!

Sounds like a good excuse to put on a tang peep sight. : )
