PLEASE READ: There will be a 24 hour "grace period" from the time of this ad being initially posted for somebody who wants the frame to also have first crack at the barrels of his choice. Feel free to post an "I will take it", but if somebody wants the frame within the first 24 and also buys that barrel, it goes to him. Other than that, I am happy to go first come first serve at asking price for anybody who gets in line. This makes shipping a lot easier for me because I have to go to the next city over to ship a firearm, and would like to get as much done at once as possible. Thanks for reading.
I purchased this recently but it was replaced before I ever took receipt of it by a fortuitous purchase. I have not shot any of these barrels. All of them come as you see them. No, I don't have any 357 max brass for sale.
I have three contender barrels. All three are made by TC. All three will come with a pachmayer handguard adapter but it is removed with two screws and can then be installed on any other handguard like usual. All three barrels have front sights. I do not have rear sights for these barrels. The 22LR and 7TCU have scope bases; the 357 Max has a one piece mount. All mounts/bases are in good shape. The barrels will not include a fore-end.
All three show normal wear, the TCU has scratches in the finish where it slides up and down the frame (not really visible when installed). The 357Max has the least wear. There is a very small patch of freckling on the 22LR barrel as pictured. The 357MAX barrel is installed in the pictures, it looks great, but any and all of them are up for sale, and the frame can go with them or separately. All barrels have one "top hat" slot. The pachmayr adapters can accomodate barrels with two or one "top hat".
10" 7MM TCU
10" 22LR
10" 357 Maximum
Each barrel is $200 + $10 shipping.
The frame + grip + handguard is $320 shipped. Given the cost of the fore-end and grip which are included I feel that is a very fair price. The gun has a really excellent trigger, even compared to my other contenders. The serial for this gun places it as being made in 1991, that also makes this an easier to open model.
Buy the frame and any one given barrel and I will do $500 shipped.
