Help ID frame, please
« on: January 17, 2011, 04:31:49 AM »
I just purchased a slightly used Contender with a heavy barrel, bushnell 2X Japanese made scope, chambered in 7TCU. How do I tell which frame it is? The serial # is 6 digit, if I remember, and it was made in N.H., if I remember. Thanks from an old TC shooter, but a long time ago. I used to shoot steel animals in the Houston area back when it was popular.
