When the Custom Shop was shut down.   
 
Most of my barrels are factory T/C 21" factory tapered last one I bought new was appr 10 years ago.

I believe the transition from 21" tappered barrels to 23" full bull without sights happened when TC went from the original Contender to the G series. They had old stock that they continued to sell until it was gone and the Custom Shop would make you one until they were closed. The 21" with sights were some very nice, handy barrels. I'm going to start looking for and buy one more 21" barrel before I call it quits on barrels, a 7 TCU  #4830. Here's a question for the experts. Did TC ever make a 21" 7 TCU barrel with two mounting lugs for the forearm or did they drop that chambering before they switched to two. Catalog # 16 shows the #4830 7TCU with one mounting lug and I can't find catalog # 17 & 18 which I'm pretty sure I had at one time.

Iowa Fox...
The change from one to two forend standoffs on standard 21" barrels took place in 1992.  They did make a 7TCU 21" with two that year, maybe the next, but dropped the 7TCU in all but the 10" bull barrel by 1994.

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
