Anyone know where I can get a TC 58cal RB barrel ...
I started with a 54 caliber one and had Bob Hoyt rebore it, to get an appropriate twist and rifling form.
Yes buy a beater barrel that will drop in your TC stock like I did and send to Bob Hoyt and he will send you back a 1-60 RB shooter that you will kill everything you aim at I can not find my address book but use search button or someone will chime in (he does a LOT of barrels for folks here) Ed
Does he just rebore? Or can he convert percussion to flintlock as well???
Call him and ask ,he can do anything !
Bob Hoyt, Freischutz shop 717-642-6696
Call early or late in the day and let it ring and ring.
bobby hoyt's THE barrel man! he bored out my 50 to 54 and 36 to 40, great work!
Nobade, you got it! A bad barrel is cheap and a re-bore is around 100 bucks!

Dogmann, flint or percussion, reboring a TC is a great way to go.
If you find a Renegade that someone pyrodex'd and neglected, it's a diamond in the rough.
There's a .56 smoothie Renegade on the shelf that got scaled up by the previous owners cleaning habits that I've just never made up my mind about.
Maybe a minie barrel? Or a what? Maybe for paper patched .58's? Fast twist for solid bases? Just don't know.
