Best bet for a TC factory Contender barrel is to check with Ed's Contenders (a board sponsor).

For a new custom (Contender or Encore) barrel MGM lists the cartridge as an available chamber from them.

      10" pistol barrels were fairly common at one time, but I haven't seen many lately.  I think the demise of the 5mm came several years before TC ever got into the carbine business though.  I don't recall ever seeing one, or a s-14 either for that matter.  May have been a TCA offering at one time or other.  This is straight from the memory however, which puts it's worth somewhere between zilch and a plug nickel :D.

i've heard in the last 2 years that some were made in carbine barrels but have never seen one for sale or talked to someone who had one . i'll have to check out ed"s and mgm and see what they have .

i had one of the early contender pistol barrels in 5m/m magnum , 10" octogon , it was unfired and i never fired it before it got traded off .
