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.
