I know that several of you own TC Renegade or Hawken with installed Green Mountain Hawken IBS system Octagon 1 in 28" twist barrels.
I have had one in my Renegade since 2009. I have also been using a scope on the Renegade for several years and have been unable to remove the barrel. I recently took the scope off and wanted to do a thorough cleaning, but was unable to remove the screw on the outside of the breach plug that came with the Green Mountain IBS barrel. It is set up for an extremely small Allen screw which provides insufficient torque to remove the screw.
I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to deal with this situation? I want to replace the breach plug, can I use an aftermarket Thompson Center replacement? Do you know if Green Mountain provides replacements?'
It is also very possible that I am missing something easy. I still consider myself somewhat of a newbie with this gun, even though I have over 200 rounds or more through this otherwise awesome barrel.
Thanks, in advance for your help. OEH2
