Other than checking for rust in the bore, you might want to take a nipple wrench with you and make sure the nipple isn't rusted in. And if it has a clean out screw, take a screw driver to be sure that it isn't rusted in also. If the bore is clean and rust free, the nipple and clean out screw are probably clean also. But sometimes they might be overlooked in the cleaning process, by some people.

There should be no problems in regards to that.
I am a little confused about your reference to "This one has the double set triggers". I thought all Renegades have double set triggers. And that statement leads me to think you believe you have a Renegade that only has one trigger on it?

And this I'm really not sure of. But I also thought that Renegades were .54 caliber rifles. I know you can get .50 caliber barrels for them, I have one.
Good luck.

The original Renegades came in .50, .54, even .58 in the big bore model. They had 1-48 twists. Their double set triggers were very crisp and clean. Then T/C changed the Renegade and it was called the Renegade Hunter. This model had a single trigger, but other then that it was a Renegade. They are good shooters. I am sure you will like the rifle with the double triggers.
