Re: Trapper Pistol .50 cal Percussion
Back in the 'day' Thompson/Center made excellent BP rifles & pistols .I for one have not been much of a fan of Traditions.
The original 'Patriot' pistols were beautiful and are still selling for premium prices.
They had a globe style front sight with a fully adjustable rear similar to a rifle.
Even my hand me down T/C Renegade that was horribly abused came out not too bad after a long and careful restoration and shoots excellently and will be making some noise in my neighborhood on the 4th - but with powder and toilet paper wadding only !!
The Renegade is an excellent rifle and the very early models had barrels made by Douglas Supreme and are very rare and sought out.
Mine is from a bit later but 'wears' a Sharon Barrel and was as well a distinguished manufacturer of rifle barrels back in 'the day'.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

PT
As Ed mentioned back in the day TC made quality Blackpowder guns and stood behind them with there warranty. Ive owned quite a few TC BP rifles and pistols. I sold a Hawken recently with a 58 cal Green Mountain drop in barrel in it. I was never much of a fan of the CVA guns either they were just poorly put together and there locks were junk. I have several BP rifles now that have been built by John Bergmann of Tenn. He does great work and he is also a great guy. I also have some rifles built in the 70's by Green River Rifle works. There rifles to this day are highly sought after and were built by people who had pride in what they do something you do not find much of anymore. I just bought a new 5th wheel and I dont care what you pay for an RV of any kind they throw those things together. Some of the things that are done I am shaking my head at wondering if the guy fell off RR horse on the way to work that morning.

Re: Trapper Pistol .50 cal Percussion
Ed showed up in a gun club I was a member of. Was on consignment. Maybe the guy is like me and has to much going on to get to shoot as much as I want. But Ive only had it about 2 years and I got it for a really good price so I bought it. Thought if nothing else I might make a little on it if I sold it.

Re: Trapper Pistol .50 cal Percussion
Not a purdy as your PAT but it came back to 'life' fairly well - after a lot of work!
.54 Renegade with a Sharon barrel.
Pre 1978 as that is when Sharon barrel went out of business.

Well you might want to check what they are going for online - you might be surprised.....Thought if nothing else I might make a little on it if I sold it.
Hopefully your 'really good price' IS - and you can make a couple bucks on it!
I recently sold an old, beat up CVA .45 Kentucky (non-shooting and in pieces) for a $100!

Re: Trapper Pistol .50 cal Percussion
Nothing Wrong with a Renegade they were great guns have owned a few of those also. 54 and 58 cal. Had a 50 caliber that was rusty and sent it to Bobby Hoyt well know for redoing BP barrels. He took it out to 58 caliber.
