Just sharing a little info I discovered. The size of the forend screw on the Contender is 10x32, the size on the Encore is 8x36. If you go to e-bay and put either of those sizes in your search, you will find those items in various lengths. from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in length or what ever size you want or need at a very reasonable price and in larger amounts. Hope this information is benificial to someone. I think the company I found mine at, was called Diablo.
