41 Mag Contender barrel
« on: December 07, 2011, 04:36:20 PM »
Did T/C ever produce a 16 1/2" or 21" Tapered barrel?  What about a 23" if no shorter ones.  DP

    Never was a cataloged item in any length more than 14", but that doesn't mean they didn't produce some.  TCA has had several barrel offerings in 41 and I think ::) I recall a 16.25".  And, of course, they were available from Fox Ridge and hopefully again...someday...maybe ??? .

 +1 on what Walt said.
 
There is also the possibility that a few 41MAG "lunch time" carbine barrels could be out there, but finding one for sale is probably a pretty slim to no chance proposition.   Ed's Contenders would be your best contact bet to find a TCA, FR or LT barrel IMO.

I do not think TC ever made a factory 41M carbine.  The TC Custom Shop only offered them in handgun lengths.
 
The TCA did offer them about 1 1/2 years ago.  TC had some carbine blanks that they had bought for a special project and they had been laying around for awhile and they offered them to the TCA to get rid of them.
 
I bought a 22" bull for my Contender and a 24" tapered for my wifes Encore.
 
Sometimes Ed does order extra's of the offerings, not sure he did on these since the number of blanks were limited and it was first ordered first served.  Might not hurt to check with him.
 
MGM makes them.

One of the TCA barrels was listed in the classifieds today.  In was in the Contender section but listed as a 20" Encore.  Sold in a little over an hour.
 
The 41 sure seems popular to be so unpopular.
