357 mag/ 357max

[RICKGO1]

I am looking at a 357 mag contender barrel, can it be bored out to 357 max. What do you think it would cost ? Who could do it?

Here you go.

One of the best. Call him up, he may even have one in stock. He cuts a good chamber and proper throat instead of the 0.400" long one T/C puts in.

Hey, you can purchase an 357 MAXIMUM Encore barrel (I know, it's not a Contender) direct from FoxRidge. Or, at least I did about five years ago. Mine is heavy bull; and accurate.

I'll second BABore's recommendation, call or email Mike Belm.

Here's an eye opening article on chamber casts of T/C's written by Mike B.
