I picked up a used Renegade at a show. Im gonna make it a winter project. The barrel is as smooth as a plowed field! Can you still get T/C barrels somewhere? Or is Green Mountian my best bet? What about having it reamed out and re-rifled to another caliber or just reamed smooth? What are the options these days?

A buddy of mine let a T/C Hawkin barrel rust out from not cleaning it quite right...took a lot of years but it crapped out on him.
He boxed it up and wrote a nice letter to T/C's customer service department explaining that it was his most favoritist hunting rifle and it didn't shoot the way it used to when it was new. Could they please take a look at it and find out why.
It was about 3 weeks and they sent him a letter back explaining that the barrel was rust pitted beyond hope, and that the stock had a crack in it near the lock mechanism.
With the letter was a video cassette on how to care for a T/C rifle, and a brand spanking new .50 cal. T/C Hawkin....no charge.
