      Contender barrel length

      My go-to 22 cal barrel is pretty uncommon, a 222 Rem Mag Improved, but shoots to the crosshairs all day long. https://web.archive.org/web/20160817013735/http://www.bellmtcs.com/store/index.php?cid=79& Mike did the rechamber a long, long time ago and it is as reliable as the day I got it back. I...

      GEN 1 CONTENDER

      After reading Don Bower's work with Contender: http://www.retro.co.za/gundex/articles/Ultimate%20(Thompson%20Contender)%20pistol%20accuracy.pdf I had to see how he did it. Found a barrel in 7mm Super Bower aka 7mm JDJ #2 or 7x307 AI W0W!!! She's a shooter!

      GEN 1 CONTENDER

      Never had a G2, never needed one, I did graduate to an Encore, heavy clunky trigger but handles the big ones The contender is a pleasure to shoot. Lots of fun wildcats. My tolerance with the Encore ends at the Whelen. CWD was the reason for for Game & Fish to ruin our season Still shooting and...

      Tc contender value

      That's a fair price and the Pachmayr set is a sought after feature. They are durn good shooters!

      .35 Remington contender

      Looks like it's flight was not stabilized by either adequate speed or twist. My recommendation is to use a nice cast bullet with a big meplat and that usually does the trick for me The factory barrel in 35 cal. is 1:14" and 14" of barrel doesn't make for extreme velocity unless loaded...

      First flintlock advice

      When the flint bug bites you'll prefer it over a cap. I've got both but prefer the reliability of a cap, even the blasphemous 209 for added insurance. One tidbit I've gleaned in my limited experience with a frizzen pan, shy away from Pyrodex unless judicious wipedown with alcohol between shots...
