    TC G2 Contender barrels

    I am looking at getting a 223 Remington barrel with a 1:9 twist for my G2 Contender. Any recommendations on a manufacturer todo this.
    I keep trying to stay afloat but can't help from shooting holes in my own boat.

    MGM (Match Grade Machine) They make all of my barrels now. I have a few from Bullberry and they are excellent but the last one I ordered took exactly one year to get and his prices are getting steep. SSK has made a couple for me but their prices are out of this world.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    MGM. I've had two barrels made by them, no complaints, quick service.

    MGM has had a couple of unhappy customers from the Speciality Pistols website but I think most are happy. You could check their classifieds for a barrel also.

    Thanks, I looked at EABCO but they won't make a 223 Remington barrel in a 1:9 twist. I think I will be going with MGM.
