Striped and blued
The barrel that came with the $30.00 Renegade I bought a little while ago looked as though someone had painted it. For the the last two days I have been taking all of the paint off and prepairing it to be blued. I blued it this morning and it came out looking real nice. Heck, it looks like it could almost pass for brand new to me.
I like it. |
Nice job pluckit. Looks real good.

Thank you, it was Hoppe's gun blue. I've had it for more than 20 years. It's the same bottle I used to blue my TC Hawkins with when I got the kit. This barrel turned out 10 times better than the Hawkins did.

Although I never showed you the original condition of the $30.00 Renegade, and I regret that, I have shown you the Renegade with the .50 cal. GMB LRH Carbine on it. And I have shown you the refinished original chopped off .54 cal. TC barrel. So I thought I would show you the refinished chopped off .54 cal barrel on the stock. This is the original $30.00 Renegade after refinishing the barrel.
That sucker looks good doesn't it? Now to see if she shoots. |
By the way, when I bought the rifle it came with a broken aluminum arrow that was used as a ram rod and inserted in the ramrod receptical of the gun. The ram rod you see in the picture of the barrel is one I found in the trash can outside a sporting goods store. It was one of those extendable ram rods that was broken and the longest part of it turned out to be just the right size after a little modification. The hardest part of the modification was pounding a plastic arrow thing (ferule?) that a broad head screws into, into the cut off end. I can actually screw accessories into it if I like but the main purpose was to make the cut off end more solid and atractive.
