    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!

    Try eabco.com last I heard a few people were'nt to happy with MGMs barrels and I think eabco is cheaper.

    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.
