Has anyone tried the GM .32 caplock barrel on their T/c Renegade? I am leaning towards buying one to use for Squirrels and Turkeys and Rabbits and....... Anyway, are they worth $190? Are they accurate? I will be using Roundballs. Thanks-Jack.

I've no experience with the Renegade version, but have a little bit of experience with the 15/16" Hawken verision. All shot well with thin lightly lubed patch, 20-30 grains GOEX 3F and #0 buckshot. I even converted one of the percussion models to flint and it shoot just fine.

Take care, have fun....

slayer: I have done exactly what you are asking about. I put a .32 (1" of course) Green Mountain barrel on a Renegade stock with the double set trigger. It is a heavy rifle but I like heavy. It is so accurate that it is scary. (We share the same birthday except 20 years apart, Think the same way?)

Maybe Mike :-D That is great news from you guys, I will save up and get one .Squrrel season is right around the corner :grin: I know my .50 Renegade is very accurate!! Jack.

If push comes to shove you could use the .50 on em', just load way down in the powder dept., say 30-35grs and have at it. That should give enough power to thump em' without being full power.
On the subject of .32's, the only one that I ever owned was a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Poor Boy and it'd drive tacks with a .312 round ball and 15grs. of 3fg. as long as I ran a spit patch down the bore between shots. If I didn't it'd foul and loading would be pretty hard. Anyway, good luck huntin'.

Yes, GRN MTN offers many nice options for our T/C guns for many calibers, I am thinking .58 cal after the .32!! Jack.

Track of The Wolf carries the Green Mountain barrels.
$149.95 for .32 cal.

Got mine from TOTW 2 years ago and love it. Mine shoots maxi's and prb great. It is a heavy rifle but for the accuracy, wouldn't sell it for anything. I use <PRB w/.010" patch over 30 gr Pyro P>. Enjoy!!

Great news!! I bought a new Roundball barrel without the QLA for my T/c Hawken .50 Flinter, only because it matches the gun, but with the Renegade, the GRN MTN barrel is blued and will match and be cheaper than T/C. Jack.
