Got a .54 Renegade

[Swampman]

A local shop got in 2 used T/Cs (a Hawken & a Renegade)and I bought both of them. This one is the .54 Renegade. The price was reasonable. Oddly enough the first good muzzleloader I owned was a .54 Renegade that I got in the mid 1970s. I ordered a .58 caliber GM roundball barrel for it from Midway yesterday. I'm thinking about the Hawken Shop triggerguard too.

NICE! I like the wood. Does it have a blade front sight and flat top rear? "Just curious" I bought one last year and it has the blade sight. I like it better than the bead sight on my Hawken.

 

[Little Wattsy]

pretty wood! :thumbsup:

 

[Swampman]

Yes, this one has blade type sights.

Nice find..

Whats the good price did you pay for them...

I enjoy hitting the Pawn and Antique shops.

You never know what you'll find.

I have found some very nice pieces at very nice prices on my monthly trips to them..

 

[Swampman]

I got both for less than $400.00. I rarely buy a gun new.

Hmmmm :hmm:
I never thought to make a fence out of my Rennegade. :hmm:

 

[Swampman]

It keeps the booger mans out, but it's expensive.

Mark
I have had my Renegade for close to 40 years now and it has never failed me. Good find
For some reason every so often right now some good Thompson Center's are showing up for good prices.
What caliber is the Hawken??

 

[Swampman]

The Hawken was a .50. I put a .54 caliber 15/16" GM barrel on it.

That reminded me of Grant's Farm in St. Louis. The iron fence is supposed to be made of barrels from surplus rifles , after the Civil War. I haven't thought about that in years. :hmm:

Beautiful Renegade. I got mine at an auction a few years ago. I love it. :thumbsup:

 

[Maynerd62411]

Now THAT'S a way to decorate a fence. Nice Hawken and accessories. :thumbsup:

Nice find. Love those Renegades. Makes a real nice rifle with the 58 GM barrel, not that the original 54 Cal on it isn't good. Same setup I have one one of my Renegades.

 

[rabbit03]

I started with the same rifle and caliber also back in 72. :thumbsup:

Wow! My .58 caliber GM barrel came today. It looks like you could drive a bus down the bore. That am one big hole. I was afraid it would be heavy, but the balance is real nice.

 

[Dillohide]

Yep, and deep rifling groves. Assume you'll use .570 ball and .018 patches but you might try .020 patches too. Mine likes'em a lot.

 

[Swampman]

I wish I could have gotten one of those $100.00 .62 caliber smoothbore barrels.

My barrel just arrived tonight Mark. They said there was one more in stock. :wink
