Title: Renegade
Post by: ridjrunr on June 26, 2016, 01:52:02 PM

It looks as though there are a few variations of the Thomson Renegade. From those who own and shoot one, please tell me the ins and outs if any.this one is a .50 with a 26" barrel. Steel butplate and trigger guard which I like, but no nose cap?
Thanks, ridjrunr

My .54 flinter is like yours, no nose cap, none needed. One of my most accurate rifles.

I don't recall ever seeing a nosecap on a Renegade.  
I did put one on mine, along with a lot of other stuff.
Ditto on it being an accurate rifle.  It more than paid for itself over the years.

no Renegades came from the T/C factory with nose caps. about the only real variations in them besides caliber & rock or cap lock and double or single trigger, the Renegade Hunter and the 58cal Big Boar had a single trigger and rubber recoil pads.

Additionally, caplock Renegades were also made in .56cal smoothbore (Renegade 56SB marked on the barrel), for states that (years ago) allowed only smoothbore muzzleloaders for deer season (my state was one) - but AFAIK all Renegades had the same style stock & furniture.

I used to load birdshot into 28ga shotcups for bird/small game hunting, before my state mandated the use of only sub-40cal (.32, .36, etc) muzzleloaders on that size gamebirds & animals.
