Need help with a problem
« on: July 26, 2006, 03:34:14 PM »
Ok, lets give this a try.  I have a pre G2 contenderand a new custom shop 357 maximum barrel.  I went to the range tonight and heres what happened.  First 2 rounds had a light primer strike, 3 and 4 blew the action open.  No as far as a overloaded round, this wasnt the case.  I measure ever round when I loaded, and when I came home tonight, I took them apart and measured again.  These loads came directly from the Contender load book and were not listed max.  Whats going on?

Sounds like a problem with barrel lugs to me.   KN

Sounds like excessive breech face to barrel gap...which also means poor lock up with the frame. I would send the gun to TC and have them make it right.
