Renegade Laminate stock

[retrieverman]

Not sure how i feel about it. On the plus side my wife said i can have another made in a dif color

It’s “interesting“, and though I don’t find the color scheme offensive, it wouldn’t be MY first choice or even fourth. I do really like the idea of a laminate Hawken stock though.

Its here!. Just got home from work and its on the porch. Havent opened it yet

Woo Hoo

You can polish that wood with a felt wheel and rouge. I think it looks great

 

[Kingwalter]

I like it as well. Different but very unique

Over the years I have seen many older shooters forced to 'retire' from shooting because they can no longer see the sights. I am with you on anything that helps keep a person shooting.

I have that going on too. A week ago I got my first set of glasses at age 65. Got by on readers. Man I miss my old sidelock patch and ball. Shooting/hunting was so much more simple then as far as projectiles and such.

Ive got some work to do to get it complete. Drill for the barrel wedge. Lock retainer screw. I will put it next to the other stock and see just what i have to do. And some kind of finish too.

If you decide to get rid of it let me know, I would be very interested in it.

I may have you all beat as far as age I was born in 1947.

Nope!

Where you get and price please

Got the blank from Richards Microfit for $89 i think it was, maybe $99, and Pecatonica River did the work for $120 plus $25 shipping. Reasonable price imo. I was hoping for more Red/Orange/Yellow. But it just worked out to have a little more blue showing. Supposed to be kind of a southwest type coloring. I had to choose between a few different colors and let my wife help.me pic. She says she doesn't care for all the blue. We'll see what a little oil finish does for it. May make the red stand out more.

I agree on the blue, but I think that once you put the hardware on it will look different and I suspect it will look better...

I'm familiar with Richards at one time I was going to have them build some white rifle stocks but didn't go thru with it. Keep us posted.
Thanks

I showed the pics to my wife, she said she liked it! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

[idahoron]

I wouldn't oil it yet. If you polish it with a felt wheel first it will look awesome. After it's polished then put a little oil on it is fine. That wood doesn't really need to be finished like a regular wood gun stock.

 

[Rainorshine]

Maybe paint it green and white? LOL

I have some rouge, but i thought it was just for metal. I was actually going to do a little fine sanding/polishing, where its not visible, to see what it might look like.

 

[snapbang]

How about car polish???

 

[idahoron]

This one was polished at the same time I polished the metal

 

[idahoron]

This one was the same. The wood was just polished.

"The first use of scopes in this country predates the civil War and were non magnifying."

There WERE magnifying scopes in use at the time and earlier. And they were used all over the world. This is not the only country with a broad history of firearms use and manufacturing. The Czar of Russia was known to have participated in a shooting event in 1737 using a rifle with a magnifying scope on it. At that time it was considered modern as well. At what age does something go from modern to traditional? Or is it just subject to the whims and fancy of the group of people who record these things? Apparently your info is incomplete. But it sounds like you're saying that a scope IS a traditional sight.

"The Aperture sight really came into it's own in the 1700's as the cartridge guns evolved and the muzzle loaders became obsolete"

" Came into its own" is just an opinion and is irrelevant. They were in use and not uncommon. Common or not has no relevance here anyway. Just someones viewpoint at a certain place and time.

"Been shooting Black powder before you were born, I was born in 1947 my boats been floating for a long time. And I will shoot hole in your boat any time, Speaking hypachetical"

It seems like most of your info and experience is outdated and possibly missremembered due to your advanced age and the maladies that accompany it. As your confusing MLs with boats would seem to indicate. Possible signs of encroaching dementia? Being stuck in your ways doesnt make you traditional. This forum is 'Modern Muzzleloader' not 'Traditional Muzzleloader' That sight already exists and is full of like minded oldtimers who are also 'stuck in their ways', convinced that the old ways are better. Regardless of what you think is true or appropriate or right. The Renegade is far from a traditional ML. Not a factory copy. It isnt copied from any known gun afaik. It is a Modernized version of a design that has been improved upon for many many years. Its a caplock not a flintlock. Does that make it a modern gun? A flintlock is more modern than what came before it and yet it is not called a modern firearm. The first weapon was likely a rock or a stick. Compared to that all weapons are modern, even bows. Will laser, plasma, or rail guns make cartridge guns "traditional? To put an old "traditional" sight on this modern sidelock gun would be an insult to its designers and gunbuilders who created it and were always looking for ways to improve it. Making the stock, barrel, sights, butt pad, ramrod, and any other parts, by a robotic or computer controlled machine to achieve the utmost in precision and accuracy makes this gun as modern and non-traditional as any cartridge gun for sale currently. To get the most out of this modern gun, or any firearm, one would have to be a fool not to put a modern sight on it. So mosey on over to tradional MLs and have a nice day.

"Keep your boat floating If you shake a tree your liable to get hit on the head"

"Speaking hypachetical"

BTW, it's spelled 'hypothetical' and i dont understand what your reference to Newton and gravity has to do with anything.

I don't think cartridge guns evolved in the 1700's??? More like civil war era 1860's?? am i mistaken? (pin fire cartridges in 1840's are the earliest i'm aware of..

Does this count ? Seldom seen but often spoke of View attachment 13786

i can't quite read the name on the action, but if it will accept centerfire barrels, it is considered a "short barreled rifle" & requires $200 ATF license to legally own.. Hope it is ML only action.. otherwise you ought not be showing it off (unless you have the license) which is BS but required.. I LIKE IT! bet its loud?
