Thompson/Center Renegade .50 Caliber Flintlock Muzzleloader – Double Set Triggers
Offered here is a Thompson/Center Arms Renegade .50 caliber flintlock muzzleloading rifle in good used condition.
The Thompson/Center Renegade is a classic American-made black powder rifle, produced as a rugged, traditional-style muzzleloader inspired by the percussion and flintlock sporting rifles of the 19th century.
This example features the desirable flintlock ignition system, double set triggers, a substantial octagonal barrel, and traditional hardwood furniture.
The rifle retains its attractive blued barrel and lock components, along with a warm reddish-brown hardwood stock. The metal surfaces show light handling wear and scattered finish marks consistent with previous use.
The stock remains in good overall condition, displaying attractive grain, minor scratches, and typical handling marks. The traditional styling is complemented by a crescent-style metal buttplate, iron furniture, and an under-barrel ramrod.
The double set trigger arrangement is a particularly desirable feature of these Thompson/Center rifles.

Historical Background
Thompson/Center Arms helped popularize traditional muzzleloading rifles in the United States during the latter half of the 20th century.
The Renegade was designed as a sturdy, practical alternative to the company’s more ornate Hawken-style rifles. Its simpler furniture, octagonal barrel, and traditional lock design made it a recognizable part of the American black powder shooting tradition.
Today, Thompson/Center Renegade rifles remain familiar examples of American muzzleloading firearm design.
