A local shop has one for $199.00.  I'm thinking about making an offer.

Here on the GBO Classifieds they normally go for $150-$175. So far I've seen only one sell higher. I paid $160 shipped for the last one I bought thru here and got new in package fire sights to go with it.

This place will usually give me a little bit off because I'm a regular.  New traditional guns have gotten so high!

I went back and got the Renegade.  It's the version with set triggers.  I cleaned it up real good, & lubed everything.  A little bit of cold blue & a dab of linseed oil made it look 100% better.  I am going to replace the fiberglass rammer with a hickory rammer.  I have the blanks, I just need to get a 10-32 tip.  It also needs a new nipple.  The old one is flared a little.

Yep, looks a lot like my first year 54 Renegade switch barrel capper (have a 12 GA barrel for it too).   Enjoy.

I've had the same gun for 20 years or so.

A couple of years ago I change to a green mountain 1/70 twist barrel.....and couldn't be happier.

A good smith can do that for reasonable if you really want it. Example; Track of the Wolf Gunsmith service
*cut and crown a barrel $18
* Dove tail for site $15
* install rib screw $15
 That's only 48 plus the shipping of course and the good thing about it is it will be done right here in the USA.

You can buy a Green Mountain drop-in barrel with a roundball twist ready to go.  Another nice thing is an aftermarket Davis trigger.  They are made specially to replace the T/C trigger. You can feel a BIG difference in the triggers.  They take about five minutes to change. You can get them at Track Of The Wolf.  I have a 58 T/C Hawken with a Green mountain barrel, and the Davis trigger.  I sold the old barrel and trigger.
