i have a t/c contender in .35 rem super 14 barrel.
here is my plan;
i am having a muzzle tamer made for it. this will serve two functions.
first off, i want to use it as a short carbine, the law says...the barrel has to be 16 inches for a legal rifle. the (brake) will be made to extend the barrel to 16.5 inches. this will be a slip over barrel confiq. with a super tight fit, but yet removeable when i want to convert it back to a pistol.
kind of like the ones you see for the 10/22 carbines.
i just dont know if this would be a legal set up for the stupid batf laws.
any ideas on this would be appreciated.
using the contender stock set up would make this weapon more versatile, allowing me to blow woodchucks up, and still use it as my deer weapon as a pistol set up.
if this all works out, i wont have to buy another (longer .35 rem barrel)
for longer range varmits.
i reload for this baby, and have some super accurate loads out to 150 yds, using the carbine stock.

the muzzle break must be permanently attached

rickyp is correct! Must be permanetly attached. I don't see the problem though, lots of folks use 16" barrels for pistols. KN

You mean you "think" that with the carbine stock that the loads will be as good or better than they are now with the pistol grip.

Since placing the carbine stock on it would be a violation.

well then,
it looks like i will have to buy a dedicated carbine barrel, or find a 16 inch .35 rem barrel. good luck with that.
thanks for the input.

ok,
i think i will keep the .35 rem for my pistol set up.
i am now thinking of getting a 45/70 barrel in 16 and a quarter inch.
maybe 18 inch.
i like the short barrel rifle. seeing i already have the carbine stock and
fore arm, it gives me an excuse to buy another caliber barrel. also gives
me reason to reload another caliber round.
i am wanting to bear hunt this fall, and i think this would be a great
thumper on them.
