    Ssk 50

    Having just read the article in GUNS Magazine about SSK bringing back the T/C Contender (renamed the SSK 50), it's exciting! The article says it will accommodate all the old Contender barrels. Nice!

    Mine won't, while I like the frame and will likely get another at some point my frame is the pickiest one I have ever seen as far as barrel fit. Out of probably 7 or 8 barrels tried so far only one fit but that one fits like a glove. That is the only fault so far, I'm happy with mine.

    I'm still on the waiting list for one. It's been almost two years now.

    Hausofarms is where i was on waiting list. About 3 yrs waiting but SSK didnt actually release them for sale till after the middle of 2023. Have not checked mine on all my barrels but the ones i tried they worked. No complaints.

    I got mine from Haus of Arms also, it took around 44 months from the time I got my name on the list.

    I am entering that age where I may not live that long. Fortunately, I already have half a dozen old frames but always wanted an extra stainless frame to try a particular carbine barrel. BTW - I love those fancy grips TRED1956.
