Where have all the Contender Carbines gone?
« on: April 24, 2006, 05:45:54 AM »
Is someone hoarding all the 21" and Super 16 barrels in preparation for the looming apocalypse?  :grin:

Seriously, I'm watching the ads here, Eds, eBay, and Handgun Hunt, and I'm just not feeling like the carbine barrels are out there. If you know of a good source, please post it. I've got a Super 16 45/70 I do not enjoy shooting that I'd love to replace with something - I just can't find the something!

I just bought a 21" .17HMR barrel from Contender Cache. Very good experience doing business with them.

I could never get Ed to answer an email or his phone.

I plan on buying a 7-08 barrel for my Encore frame from them as well.

Hope this helps..........Joe

I picked up a factory 23'' bbl in .204 ruger , having a ball with it , super fast and very accurate , with 32 gr. can get 4100 fps , with 39 gr can get 3700-3800 , shot a group the other day that  went .250 !! no recoil at all . Got it at cabelas , I believe they have them in stock.
