I know this is kinda of an old thread, but just to help- I bought a new .54 Renegade from the original Gander Mountain store in SE Wisconsin in 1973. SN was 6866. Unfortunately the Renegade was stolen from our home in 1988.
The Renegade was the first firearm I ever bought so I remember it- even after 30 plus years.
Now I’m in the middle of putting a late production .50 T/C Hawken barrel 258xxx in a Pecatonica River maple stock and using Hawken Shop conversion hardware. My goal is to make a practical deer rifle. The fore end will follow the graceful Renegade pattern I remember instead of the squared off Hawken brass cap.

I believe my Dad purchased the one he gave me in 1973, it is K12xxx.
I have a few TCs in the safe with 4 digit serial numbers starting with 2s and 4s. I have an idea when they were manufactured, but gave up worrying about it years ago. Toss in the fact that many of the barrels (only serial numbered component) have been swapped out on numerous stocks, even if you had a manufacturing date, all you would have is the date the barrel was made.
I am trying to do some “DNA” on my recently acquired TC Hawken .50 cal SN#149XXX.
It has double set triggers.
Any info is appreciated.

I guess the only thing certain is if the barrel is a warning (Black Powder Only) or pre-warning barrel, I think this change was in the mid 80s.
