Picked up a contender
« on: June 04, 2010, 12:55:35 PM »
i know one thing i need to stop buying guns and bows and etc but i keep finding killer deals :yike: 3 new guns and 1 new bow in 3 weeks :yike: i got this t/c contender from a guy in town last night it is a stainless contender with syn fore grip and a syn pistol grip and he threw in the folding rifle stock as well. it has a 16 super 16" 223 rem barrel on it. looked at the barrel last night online and it alone was 320 :yike: i picked this gun up for 250.00 cash :IBCOOL: i am very happy with it "note it did not have the hollow sight sight on it, i just put it on it" if anyone wants a contender barrel he has a 221 222 and 7mm tcu barrel left i did not want to have to buy a bunch of new brass and dies and etc so i only got the 223 barrel because that is what i wanted. i didn't think i would ever buy one since i have a few great hunting handguns already but this will be my new tractor buddy. and i could not pass on this deal i am going to get a scope for it but i put the hollow sight on it just to mess around tell i get a new scope for it. :tup:

Awesome...
I have an Encore rifle with 300wm and 22-250 barrels and my dad hunted deer back east as long as I can remember with his Contender super 14 in 7mm TCU.
Have fun with it.

I am jealous I just paid 200 for just a barrel.  If you have time and don't mind I would be interested in the 222 barrels info.  anyway great find and great deal.  becareful they can be a little addictive if you start buying barrels.

Did he have any rifle barrels for sale?
I'm not into the pistol thing yet.

p.s. you can get a trigger job done on them and they work out real nice.
www.bellm.com is the place for upgrade stuff if you're interested.

Yes he is.
The best and 1st upgrade should be the upgraded tighter fitting hinge pins IMO.  :twocents:

He didn't do the trigger or the break. They were both done by a guy local to me here.

458 in a pistol barrel?

Your uncle's would likely be a VIAS brake.

Mine is a Defensive Edge brake. I like it...honestly the only reason I had it done was because it already had an ugly one on the barrel when I got it so I had it replaced. I would go with either a VIAS or a D.E. if you want one...just make sure the guy who does it knows what he's doing. Mine is not that nice and clean in person as I wish it was.

the T/C heavy barrel is a wierd size and DE doesn't make a brake the same OD. you can't mill down the O.D. of the part of the brake with the ports in it so they milled it to a taper behind the porting. It looks ok but the joint between the barrel and the brake is a little rough. Really it's not that bad...
