Frame/barrel fit question
« on: June 24, 2010, 04:41:57 PM »
I have an older Contender frame, but got away from shooting before the G2 came out.  Which barrels can I put on the older frame?  Thanks.  I am usually over on the NEF side of things

As far as I know, all Contender barrels except for the Muzzleloading carbine barrels.  I know that you can't do that because I accidently put one on an early frame and damaged it so it wouldn't work at all.  But thanks to T/C's great customer service, I sent the frame in and they fixed it at no charge.

The new barrels on the old frame may require some 'tuning' to open/close properly. Check some of the previous postings for a
 explanation of this.
