Howdy all,

I'm new to this forum but I have a couple of questions about proper operation of my Renagade. I haven't shot it for about 5 years due to being stationed in Japan (no guns allowed), but when I initially tried to work up the load (Pyro RS), I had lot's of problems with the gun failing to go BOOM. If I removed the nipple and dribbled a little powder in then tried again, it would work. I followed the tradition of firing some caps after cleaning the bore, but no luck. I even tried a hot-shot nipple...same problem.

Second...could I replace the .54 barrel with a .50 and still have it fit in the stock?

Thanks
