Muzzle loader barrel for older style Contender
« on: December 21, 2006, 09:16:31 AM »
I just checked the TC web site, and they list a  muzzle loader barrel for the G2 Contender, but it won't work on the older style.  Did TC make such a barrel for the Contender?  If so, anyone know where I could get one?  I have a perfectly good Contender frame, and can't afford to buy a new G2 at this time.

You could get the G2 muzzleloader barrel and just cut/grind off the pin on the bottom of the lug. It would then fit the older contender's. Obviously this would void the warrenty but how much problems needing T/C service would need for a muzzleloader barrel.

Thanks, guys.  Bulberry has a barrel, but too pricey for my budget.  I'll keep my eyes open for a  used one, meanwhile continue to hunt with my NEF Huntsman. :D

FYI, I just stumbled across the barrel in the Midway master catalog--a .50 cal. barrel for the Contender.  $249.  Not bad. :)
