Hey yall,
I had a couple contender barrels, brass and dies lying around for the last 8 years or so. Never picked up a frame. So, I ordered a ss G2 pistol frame as a Christmas present to myself this year.
I found the saddle mount rear sight would not fly on the 35 Rem bbl so I set it aside and installed the 7mm TCU bbl. I checked her out, seemed fine. The trigger job done by EABCO felt fair. Not impressive. Closing the action feeL's a little rough. Upon disassembly, I could see some roughness to the machining where the pawl of the barrel is in contact under the breech face. Not a big deal. I remover the rear sight on the 35 Rem bbl and installed the barrel. Now, the hammer won't cock???
Hmmm, any ideas? I checked the pawl mechanism between the 2 barrels and they seem similar. I can manually depress the ramp inside the action and it allows the hammer to release. Any help is appreciated.
