TC Renegade Trigger

[Northof51]

I have a Renegade that was dropped off and I can’t figure out the dual set trigger. I’ve adjusted as per the manual but when used it only strikes halfway. If I use the primary trigger by itself it works fine, just that it’s probably an eight pound pull.
Any suggestions what could be stopping it?

This should help.

T/C Hawken lock problem

Howdy, I'm new to the forum and muzzleloading as well. I recently bought my first rifle, a .50cal T/C Hawken Cougar. It shoots great but lately I've run into a problem. When pulling the set trigger and then the firing trigger, the hammer doesn't seem to hit the percussion caps hard enough to...

Thanks for that, I’ll have a better look inside tomorrow morning

Yes, take it apart and check the lock mechanism. Probably a screw or something loose. I had the same problem years ago with one of my TC Hawkens.

Look for rubbing of parts on the mortise. It is possible you have too much wood, or metal making contact. If the hammer is only dropping from full to half-cock when you pull the front trigger, you have an issue. There are a number of threads here: Muzzleloadingforum.com

that search will get you started, don't worry if it's not a TC specific thread, similar issues often have similar solutions.

I have a half dozen TCs and each is a bit different in the tension required but are all roughly within an 1/4 turn or less.
