New barrel and old Contender Frame
« on: May 17, 2007, 05:08:21 AM »
Will the new .45/410 barrel fit the old old Contender frame?  It seems like I saw something about this combo.

When you say "new" barrel I guess you mean http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=520344 "new like this one" (yeah...is there any other kind). The description says it fits the G2 and the Contender so it looks like a go to me. I have the original contender frame and a 10" 45\410 barrel for it. It's a great hand gun to shoot the 410 loads. Effective killing range is about 30 yards.

Normally the new barrel will fit the old frames but the old barrels will not unlock on the new frames .The old frames move the locking bolt further to unlock that the new frames seem to.
