WANTED Thompson Center Renegade 50 cal with fast twist barrel

[nebhunt]

Looking for a .50 cal. Renegade with a fast twist barrel. I would even consider just buying the barrel.

All the stock TC Renegades have a 1 in 48 barrel, anything else would be an aftermarket drop in barrel or from the TC custom shop.
The Gun Works will make you any drop in barrel you want ($450), so will Rice ($550), but you will end up with way more in the rifle than it is worth.

Other than Eric's suggestion, about your only other option is to look for a Green Mountain LRH barrel on the used market.

Another option would be to get a barrel that needs a little TLC and have it bored and sleeved with whatever twist rate you want. Probably not going to be any cheaper than buying a new barrel or a rare LRH barrel, but you can make it into exactly what you want.

I currently have a Green Mountain LRH in 50 cal. I guess I could see what it would look like in a Renegade stock and possibly had to bed it. Just don't know how that would look.

Used with the 15/16ths tang and properly shimmed/bedded it won’t be noticeable at all. I did a similar thing, I put a White Mountain Carbine barrel in a Renegade stock once.

I guess maybe I should shift gears and look for a Renegade stock with whatever barrel it has. Thanks for the information

Call Bob Hoyt to see if he can do a reline for you. He did a Renegade for me that he simply opened up to .54 with a 1-66" twist for RB.
Be patient as he takes a while. I understand that his granddaughter is now helping out in the shop.

Maybe find a Renegade that needs a little tlc. Check out my thread in the percussion section “Renegade Reborn”. I’ve never had a factory TC that wasn’t a good shooter.
