Its a long shot but im looking anyone .
I have an Armor Alloy frame for sale. I wasn't aware that they made a stainless frame until G2.
I’ve seen the silver ones with the Engraving before
Armor Alloy needs to use Armor Alloy barrels if not modified to take blued or SS. They were three different Contenders. The first two used the same frame but different trigger assemblies and hammers. The the G2 which is completely different. The second contender "easy open" and G2 were made in SS. There are some "easy opens" in SS out there don't know if anyone is willing to part with them. Had my blued one's for 33 years.
Wish I could find one lol easy open ss would be a winner
T/C made some stainless frames starting in the early 90's and ending in 2000. The stainless frames had a unique serial number range with an s prefix. As far as I know the stainless frames were all easy open.

Still looking
You might give Marty a call at Hausofarms. Lehigh Defense purchased SSK Industries from J.D. Jones and are begining to produce new production clones of the easy open G-1 contender. They are priced at less than $300, I paid either $250 or $275, can't remember which. They should begin shipping in the fall. I don't know if they are stainless or not but the pictures show black nitride hammer & trigger guard & the rest looks silver colored. I didn't ask cuz I didn't care. Marty should be able to tell you.

Close thanks
