TC Renegade barrel available?

[Lin Rhea]

I was given a TC renegade in 50 Cal that had been left with a charge in it and un cleaned for years. The barrel is really badly pitted. I can barely discern the rifling with a light. I shot, cleaned, and scrubbed it before looking. The remainder of the gun is fine.

Where can I look to find either a drop in barrel or a barrel that I can switch my sights and breech over to? It's 27 inch and 1 inch across the flats. Any direction you can give me to shorten my hunt would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looked at eBay? You will be surprised!

any barrel you find will be used unless you luck into a new-old-stock somewhere. you can put a "want to buy" ad here for a barrel. also look on gunbroker or evil-bay & such places for a Renegade barrel or a Green Mountain IBS drop-in barrel.

you can also send your barrel to either Ed Rayl in West Virginia or Robert Hoyt in Pennsylvania to be bored to a larger caliber.

What about a rebore?

 

[Lin Rhea]

I bought one just now. Thank you guys! I'll tell more later.

Like I said, I don't have anything tied up in the rifle,...till now, but it is a worthy rifle and one of the few production rifles I like. I checked out the auction site and grabbed one of the lightly used drop in barrels. I did consider some of the other makes of barrels but I like the thought of it being a whole gun by the original manufacturer even if the barrel is from another gun.

Thanks Mr. Troll for the tip.

and now you have a donor barrel to send off for a re-bore/re-rifle to another caliber & you still won't have a lot tied up in it. :thumbsup:

I look on ebay and there buy it now for 275 and 325.. A used rifle is cheaper than that..

Hi Iwrhea, being it's a Renegade it's 1" across the flats, just like a TC 56 smooth bore. Have it bored out to .562, that's what mine mics. out at. Makes a nice 28 gauge barrel. TOW sells 28 gauge nitro cards, wadding, and shot cards for it, not to mention .550 lead balls. Just a thought for a salvage project to get more use out of it. Take care, Tommy.

bobby hoyt will bore it for 65 buckskins. send it to him

 

[Eric Krewson]

Mr Hoyt is up to $145 shipped for a rebore, I just had one done.

 

[MSW]

$145 is still a pretty good price, considering the quality of his work... depending on what you want to do with the gun, you can go to a .62 smooth, or you can re rifle up to (i think, but don't hold me to it) a .54.

I've called Mr. Hoyt and he's a bit hard to reach, but once you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Good luck with your project!

 

[TC Tommy]

Those are good alternatives. You would think a smooth bore would be easier- cheaper to do. A 1" barrel could be any of the above. .62 SB-20 gauge, a .58 rifled etc.

Yup I just paid $140 total for a PA Hunter rebore from 50 cal to 54 cal round bottom semi radious. $125 for rebore and $15 for return shipping.

Very happy with the job he did.

 

[nwtradegun]
