    WTS: Contender barrels and handgun scopes

    The last two barrels - #4 and #5 - will only be available until I take them to the local gun show this weekend. Speak up now, if you want either!!!

    I have 5 Contender barrels, and 5 handgun scopes for sale. Prices do not
    include shipping, but flat rate box usually works the best. First "I'll take
    it" wins! Please follow up with a PM to work out the details.
    USPS money order, PayPal +3% or Paypal family option.

    All barrels are in excellent condition, with sharp clean rifling. The only marks being the normal rubs from the frame.
    Without further ado...

    1. 6 1/2" .45 ACP barrel. Barely used. Blued, with standard sights and TCA Logo. This was
    a special collectible offering from the Thompson Center Association.
    Add it to your collection for $225!

    Can you reach the rifling with a bullet in #4 and not have the bullet fall out? Really like the idea of the TCU cabliber, but they cut the chambers so long that one could not get the right length. Still have dies and brass, but might be interested.

    Please put me back up to Dpmsman in case he can't consummate on the 32-20 barrel.

    Matt,
    I'm not sure that I understand the question, but the RCBS 145gr silhouette or Saeco 145gr. bullet, seated out to 2.465, is the max length in this barrel, without hitting the lands. Both have all of the lube grooves still in the case at that length.

    I have had 6mm and 7mm TCU factory barrels that I could not really set the bullets out far enough to reach the rifling. It was purely TC QC issues. Someday, I would love a good carbine barrel in either of the calibers. But, a 41 mag or 357 mag carbine barrel is on the top of my list.

    That 45 acp barrel would be fun. I had the 6.5" 9mm TCA barrel for awhile and traded it for a 10mm at one point.

    Re: 7mm TCU barrel ---

    In addition to the brass, I also have a Bonanza neck sizing die and 2 complete FL die sets for the 7mm TCU, that we could negotiate on for a package deal. PM me for pictures or details!!
