I have had my contender,1st gen., for a few years now and now have 6 barrels and multiple stocks and such between the pistol and carbine with another barrel on the way. I have been looking into getting an encore for the ML and shotgun capabilities so I started watching this and the auction sites and have decided that I want to have a better looking frame. I like the pro hunter frames at the T/C custom shop but then noticed that there were a few of the new Endeavor custom ML on a few auction sites. The lines on the endeavor really look good with the etching. But the only way it is sold is with their "easy open breach" on their ML and the price is up there for the custom job. I would rather have a different ML barrel and getting other barrels here would be a little easier on the wallet. I called the custom shop and they said that next year they may be doing something with that frame. Instead of ordering the prohunter frame I decided to wait and hopefully they will add the endeavor frame to their offerings. I am asking for a little help getting them to offer it, if a few people call in inquiring about it maybe they will end up making it for the custom shop .
