renard 50 cal, underhammer roundball gun

[Plastikosmd]

Renard 50 RB, new to me
I am a sucker for false muzzle, sealed ignition underhammers
This one is light, maybe 30lbs. It has both a rear aperture sight and the unertl tube sight (as shown.) I will probably shoot it with the tube.

Yep me too hope that you get to shoot it and post some results. Twist, ball size, patch, powder curious minds want to know?

Came w a mould, will measure
Previous owner had written on the load box, "110 g FFg, 0.020 patch"
Guess I will start there

Thx Kenny!
Ever heard of the builder?

You're going to like that tube sight. Here's to more RB bench rifles!

[Kenny Wasserburger]

Yes I have heard of him, but that's about all I know.

Any chance of closeups of the action? I'm one of those guys as likes to see how things work. My dad said I was born with wheels, gears, and levers in my head.

That is a beautiful rifle! I'd love to hear more about it, too.
