Wtt contender barrels

[29aholic]

So I bought an older T/C from a friend that needed money for Christmas.
It has a 10" 30-30 barrel I have absolutely no use for. I would love to trade the barrel for something I can use. I will be more than willing to add cash for the right trade.
My number one wish is a 25-20 barrel. Otherwise 222 remington. 44 mag. 22lr.
Others considered.

How much would you value your barrel at?

 

[29aholic]

I would guess about 250ish

 

[Cal30 1906]

Is your barrel octagon?

 

[29aholic]

Round barrel. I have the sights

I have 2 .22 Contenders but in octagon so I doubt they would interchange.

 

[29aholic]

Actually I think they will

Actually I think they will

Would the firing pin strike be different? Seems like a conversation or something would need to be done.

Hammer is set up for rimfire or centerfire

With the different barrel contour you need the forearm to fit it.

I use both round and octagon barrels on my Contenders.
The only difference in the fit is the forearm.

I have a pachymahr forearm

Barrel shape makes no difference in mounting.

It does make a difference for forends. Need to match the contour octagon or round bull. I am not aware of a Pachmayr that will fit an octagon. I believe they only made a bull barrel version.

30/30 from a Contender is an awful lot of fun. I have both round and octagon ones, so I can't trade for yours.

My 30/30 barrel is the 14 inch. 10 inch might be pretty noisy unless you reload for it. I have used the 160 grain leverlution in mine, but not recently.

I have a 10" vent ribbed 44 Magnum/Hotshot barrel with the choke key. I have about 200 rounds of various shot number loads, factory rounds of ammunition and I think about 500 rounds of various capsules for reloading. I have shot both Hotshots and regular 44 magnums through it and its nice.

If you want to sell a few of those capsules I'd be interested in a box of 50, just for future reference.

Dicky are you offering a trade?
