56 smoothbore

[Toomuch_36]

i may be wrong but i thought the .50 was 15/16" in size and the .56 is 1". i don't think it will fit in the same stock. check the thread "why buy a renegade smoothie". i received a lot of good info in that thread.

TheT/C Hawken used a 15/16" barrel in .45 and .50 cal. and a 1" barrel in .54 cal., The Renegades used a 1" barrel for all.

Origionaly back in the late '60s and early '70s the Renegades could be purchased with a .50, .54 or .58 cal. rifled barrel or a .56 cal. smooth bore. Also extra drop in barrels could be purchased to swap back and forth, however I believe the .58 rifle and .56 smooth were only available in percussion.
The smooth barrel was made by the Sharron Barrel Co. These barrels shot very well with either a .550 patched roundball or with shot. One of my customers has taken many turkey with #4 shot and 70 gr. of 3F with one of these barrels converted to flint.
To find one of these barrels today (especially NEB) I would probably expect to pay a C-note or more.

PS:
Jast as an aside, TC now also makes the 1" .58cal barrel in a Flint
