I recently bought an old T/C Renegade stock and lockn no barrel. When I stripped off the hardware to refinish it, I noticed the breech lug tang screws were just 1.25" wood screws, unlike my other guns (including an identical Renegade) where at least one screw goes all the way through the stock and engages threads in the trigger assembly.
This was clearly designed this way. The screws look original, and there's no way to screw a longer tang screw into the trigger assembly even if I could accurately drill a hole through the stock for a replacement.
Is this just an old design? It just seems pretty like a pretty light way to hold the breech lug down. Is safety an issue, or am I worried about nothing? :hmm:
Thanks for any thoughts.
