It,s a shame that the T/C Custom shop closed.I ordered a new Renegade in 58 cal a couple years ago and was told it would take 6-12 weeks cause they only do runs of the classic Renny and Hawkins thru the Custom Shop on a limited time of the year.I would call every once awhile to check and they would say soon.Right when a promised delivery datearrived I got a call sayin the order was cancelled and the Custom Shop was bein restructured.Repeated calls gave the same response then I found out afterwards that T/C might be goin under.Then S/W took over and that was the end of flinties all together.I was truly bummed and was planning on orderin a custom Hawkin next.

yeah it seems like us muzzleloaders are kinda swept under the rug sometimes but i happened to get lucky enough to get a big bore barrel from one of the guy's here and just have to put the rest of the parts together which in a way will be better i can make it as nice as i care to spend on it !!

wow pretty pricey i'll probably have that much into it by the time it's all said and done depending on how much i spend on the wood ? that's ok at least it will be the way i want it those t/c stocks don't really fit the way i like so i have a contact to make me a stock that fits me.

Again....
Let's all give S&W a big cheer for totally destroying a company we all loved and dealt with for many years.
R.I.P. Thompson Center... may your epitaph read as such...
We had a good run,.. but finally succumbed to Corporate Greed.
