I bought a new 12" .45/410 for my G2 and I have a couple of questions I hope someone could answer. First, the .45 shot very high, 6"+ at approximately 40 yards. Even when I tried to compensate, it still shoots high. I removed the rear sight and just sighted down the rib, (similar to sighting down a shotgun barrel), and I can shoot quite nicely for this caliber. Has anyone else experienced this with this barrel? Secondly, their is virtually no clearance between the barrel and frame on the right side cause severe rub marks on the barrel. This other barrels I have do not have as severe of rub marks. Are the rub marks a sign of variability in the construction of the barrel? Has any one ever tried to buff the inside of the frame where the barrel rubs to eliminate this contact?

If you are not having the problem with other barrels I wouldn't mess with the frame. Contact TC and see what they have to say. They may replace the barrel.

You may have to send T/C the frame and barrel so they can "fit" the barrel to the frame

How common is it that the barrel and frame need to be returned for "fitting" Has anyone else had experience with T/C doing this?

I had to send something like 2 out of about 50 barrels in for fitting , this was with just one of my 2 frames that i had. the other frame (older) world work with any barrel i put on it

I have the contender and would think its about the same as the G2. I have tried a friends barrel on my action and that barrel came off very,very hard, but I have no problem with my barrels.
