I was trying to get my TC stuff under control so I took an inventory of my stuff. Going through several cases and such I found that I own about thirty barrels. I found barrels I forgot I had. I have my original frame that has new springs and a G2 frame.
I am thinking I need another frame.
Crazy obsession!

Put some barrels up on the forum for sale. I would like to have a 17 Rem.

Don't have that one.
I did find a 221 FB in 10 inch bull barrel.

I looked at one barrel that was marked 357 Mag but when I looked at the breech it looked a little big.
12 hrs later I remember it was a 357 B&D conversion not to be mixed up with my SSK 357 Auto Mag rebore.
Barrels, frames, by the way I did get an email from Thompson Contender that the G2 stainless will handled all blued barrels as long as they have the proper barrel lug (two piece).

The only thing that mite get "Contender addition" under control is a lack of storage space. As we know, a new barrel brings it's friends the loading dies, lube /sizing die, perhaps a pilot for the trimmer and so forth.

Well at least I know I only have a minor case of Contenderitis. 2 pistol grips, 4 pistol barrels, one rifle stock and three long gun barrels and only one receiver.
