Stainless contender frames
« on: August 09, 2011, 06:01:17 AM »
Morning everyone..
 
I was into contenders for quite a few years and then in the early 2000s sold off a lot of my guns to buy another bike. All the contender stuff went away in that sale.  ;)  A year or so ago I began to feel the loss. Just love those short lite contender carbines..So I thought I'd buy a stainless contender frame, if I could find one. Boy howdy, When I started looking they were everywhere. I bought a blued one and now I have 4 stainless frames.
 
When I was into contenders before the stainless frames were hard to find, Guess with the bad economy folks are turning lose of some good stuff.  :D

Glad you're finding some good iron, Byron.  I bought my first stainless frame a couple of year ago.  I already had several blued frames.  I'm going all stainless for my carbines and keeping my pistols blued just for the heck of it.
