When I built my first Thompson Center Renegade Kit about 27 years ago, they came in the white also. I browned mine a "plum brown."

In my mind, I can see the image of us simultaneously filing the mill marks out of our barrels then. I too "blued" mine a plum brown. A beautiful (to me anyway) patina that gave the gun an antique look. BTW is goes very well with the weathered brass of the butt plate, trigger guard, and stock foreend.

Happy Hunting, Phil
