Default TC Renegade Project

I still haven't screwed the rear sight down on yet. Not drilling anything until i know if i will keep these sights or not. Just gorilla glued for now. Barrel is the custom .54cal 1:60 twist.



Have to touch up the browning i did on the barrel in some spots and then finish the buttplate. Other than that, its time to take her out and have some fun!

Fine looking muzzleloader.

That seems like an awful long wait for a screw. Could you get one at a local hardware store the same length and thread? I would ask T/C for the specs and check into that. The hardware store where I shop has about any kind of screw, bolt, nut, etc I could want. And if not, they will get one.

It's no big deal to make a screw for that. You can even mount a hex head machine bolt in a power drill and turn it down into the shape you want. Then cut the slot with a hack saw and dress it with a fine file.
