    Rifle to Smoothbore conversion

    In light of the above, Galen, any thoughts on using .54 cal OP wads in a .50 cal bore? Good, bad, not much difference? As you might guess, I have a bunch of .54 cal OP wads and no .50 cal wads. Mark

    Too Hot?

    Thanks to everyone for the replys regards an 80gn load of fffg. To clarify things a bit, I am (was) using that 80gn load in a T/C Renegade .50 cal 1:48 28" (or is it 27") barrel w/PRB. Incidentally, T/C recommends a max load for the Renegade with a .50 cal RB @ 110gn ffg. I figured I was safe...

    Rifle to Smoothbore conversion

    Hey Galen, Thanks for your response to my initial post. And, thanks for sharing with me about the rifle barrel you had converted to a smoothbore. A .58 cal smoothbore will work nicely for me. Unfortunately, however, where I hunt here in NH, to hunt Turkey one may not use a shotgun smaller...

    Too Hot?

    Anyone have any insight as to if an 80gn fffg load for a .50 cal. PRB out of a 1:48 twist might be a bit too hot for consistent accuracy? msj

    Rifle to Smoothbore conversion

    Gene, I chatted with Bob Hoyt this morning. To be sure, I was pleasantly surprised regards the cost of modifying my .54 Renegade RB barrel into a smoothbore. Thank you very much for your advice, as it seems it was very good advice, too. May I further ask you about the work you had Hoyt do...

    Rifle to Smoothbore conversion

    Hey Scattershot, would you happen to have any contact info for Robert Hoyt, an e-mail address or phone number? I found his location in PA, but could only muster up a snail mail address. (Perhaps that's how he prefers it?) Anyway, if he is amiable to electronic contact, could you share with me...

    Rifle to Smoothbore conversion

    I've been trying to locate a .62 cal 1" octagon smoothbore barrel, in flint, to drop into my T/C Renegade stock; so far I've had little success in doing so. I came close with Green Mountain, but a couple of weeks after arranging for such a barrel, they called me back telling me they could not...

    TC old locks

    Hey fellas, Thanks for the info regards the T/C locks. It would seem I have a couple of options to play with. I can either just replace the hammer and accompanying parts myself (maybe $30.00) or give up use of my rifle for awhile and send in the old lock to T/C and maybe get a whole new lock...

    TC old locks

    To be true, Roundball, Thompson Center is only 41.14 miles door-to-door from my house. However, whereas I recently purchased a new frizzen for my Renegade (the former one has a distinct divit cut into and across its center), I sort of figured that springing for a new cock wouldn't be a very big...

    TC old locks

    Do I understand this correctly, to upgrade my old, late '80s T/C lock, all I have to do is simply replace the cock and the frizzen? I can still use the old face plate and everything behind it, with the new cock being properly posistioned on the old faceplate? msj
