TC Renegade lock mortise

[Liver eatin’ Johnson]

Are TC Renegade locks ( flint or percussion ) interchangable in the factory stock mortise?
Also are TC Hawken locks and Renegade locks the same?

Thinking of using the same stock with different type of lock/barrel combinations...

Thanks

 

#1. yes
#2. yes,,maybe,,early and late modles differ, I think somewhat internally,,,but the plate's the same.,,,
,,,roundball is the T/C "go too" man with experiance,,that feller knows T/C well,,(no diss-respect intended Bill),,I might not like t/c but others doo, if you need help with t/c ask or pm roundball,,,I gotta say he knows them guns!

Yes, TC had two different size locks...a smallish one for the Seneca & Cherokee, etc...and the current production size for everything else.
The smaller ones have long been discontinued and they only have the single current production size...comes in blue and stainless...interchangeable with Hawkens and Renegades, and all other sidelock models made since the Seneca & Cherokee.

NOTE: On early style Hawken/Renegade stocks, the inletting operation was different for a percussion lock and a flint lock, so some slight 'internal' wood adjustments are needed to drop a flint lock asm into an early style percussion stock...then in recent years, they went to a generic inletting operation so both locks just drop straight in the same mortice
