I went to Drill & Tap my Oldest TC Renegade Tang today for a Stock TC Peep sight, I Hit a Hollow/Void in the Tang?? Like a full 1/4 inch in length Void, It was Just a Shell in this area, to one side. I have Drilled & Tapped Several of these over the last few years, They are SOLID. This is a First for me, never seen anything like it? These things were a Cast Part, this one obviously didn’t get Filled out
I have a Friend fairly close by that is a good Tig Welder, Hopefully i can get him to Tig this up good & Solid for me, i will have to Refinish, and Blue it, Not a Big Deal, Just a slight Set back. Just thought I would share this, As I’ve never seen anything like this With one of these Old TC Tangs? As the title say’s, A first time for everything
Once the Center bit Popped through the “Shell” and i realized it was a Void, i started poking around and made it larger, trying to see how far it ran? UGLY
I broke the ends off a Qtip and used it to Push inside to Show how deep the Void is, ODD Deal
