Nosecap for TC Renegade

[Prairieofthedog]

Looking at putting a nose-cap on my Renegade.Anyone make one that can be fitted fairly easy? I know you can pour a pewter cap,as in my case try to pour one LOL,just looking for alternatives. Thanks.

I'd set you up with a link but I'm not very computer literate . If you were to goggle "the hawken shop" they have a 1" nose cap. Will it work ? I'm thinking it will . If you were to call and ask ?s I'm sure they would help out the best they could .

I have a couple of those nosecaps, and to my knowledge they're intended only as replacements for the TC Hawken. I doesn't mean you couldn't do it on a renegade, but some reshaping of the stock to match them would be required. Here is a link to the nosecap.

Get some wood & some pipe for use as a stock & barrel mock up & do a practice pour & see how it goes . you will be suprised how well it works.I tried it before I did it on an actual stock & then went ahead & did it. The practice pour was a real confidance builder. I had a few small bubbles & fixed them up with a soldering iron & some leadfree solder.
You may also want to consider while you are at it putting an entry pipe on it.

Excuse my ignorance.

I've heard guys talk about making their own pewter capso for Sharps reproductions. Where does one acquire the pewter material.

Doubt my wife would fancy smelting some of her rarely used display cups, etc.

Track sells it. I suspect other suppliers sell it, too.

or the flea market although it is getting harder to find real pewter at the flea market! :shocked2: :wink:

I used babbit, lead free solder would work.
You could buy solder localy at plumbing supply
or hardware & save shipping $$$.

Or go to a second hand store, turn over some cups and plates . . . just remember . . . molten metal is HOT! :wink:

I bought some buffalo horn for a Renegade butt plate and nose cap. It's sitting on the table waiting on me to make the time.

I bought a nose cap in steel from Track of the Wolf for my Renegade with a .54 caliber flinter bbl and put it on my Renegade and it went on well. I measured the renegade nose and got a cap just a bit smaller then fit the cap and slimmed the nose to the cap. Epoxied the cap and blued it and the butt and trigger guard with hot blue to match the BBL.
