Does anyone out there have an extra, screw in, peep sight insert? Seems that the original was lost during an elk hunt last year and this peep sight is no longer made! It is a Thompson Center Renegade 50 cal muzzleloader with a Thompson Center Peep Sight.
Williams Sights makes a complete sight that is supposed to fit this rifle but I would prefer not to replace to entire sight.
I will happily pay a reasonable amount if you have one you can spare. Please PM me if you have one for sale.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Elkchaser
 
You might contact the manufacturer or Williams to see what the threads are. I know you can buy the individual apertures from lots of places online.
 
Hello BigChiefJ,
Thanks for the feedback! I can check the "post" where the insert threads in to find out the thread size. I'm guessin either an 8-40 or maybe a 10-32. The hard part is finding a replacement aperture insert.

Thanks again,
Elkchaser
 
Williams gunsights should have a screw in peep that works.

Hello txhunter58,
Thank you for the info. I was hoping to keep it all original but it does not look like that is not going to be possible. I did find the entire sight on EBay but $92 bucks for a $5 dollar part is a little hard to accept. I contacted Thompson Center but they no longer carry this sight or any of the components!
I will contact Williams Sights.

Thanks again,
Elkchaser
 
Update! I sent an email to Thompson Center Customer Service. They informed me that they no longer carry any parts for the old Traditional style Muzzleloaders. They did provide a list of aftermarket companies that recommended I try.
"Track The Wolf" had an aperture insert from a Williams Sight that they were confidant would fit my sight. It is on the way.
Thanks for the help guys!
