Just bought interesting frame
« on: March 26, 2010, 09:44:59 AM »
I just bought a 5 digit Contender frame, #314xx.  Does anyone know about when it was made?  It has to be an early one based on the grip on it.  I got it with a 10" 45/410 ribbed bbl and an octagon 22lr bbl. I am guessing the 22lr bbl might have came with the frame.  Wallace in Ga
