WTS Thompson Center Contender SPF

**C2VETTE** · October 22, 2005, 17:58

In good condition. Stainless with weaver P2-S scope. 357 herrett caliber. 14" barrel. It has a puma ingraved (factory) on the side.Llisting this for a friend. $ 500.

**C2VETTE** · October 28, 2005, 02:36

BTT how about $400 ?

owlcreekok · October 28, 2005, 15:48

FWIW, I have been trying to sell off some Contenders and barrels, scopes, mounts, etc for almost a year. Moved one frame & barrel and one barrel alone. Hard to sell, due to narrow following. I have finally given up and am buying the rest myself. The Contenders are great firearms.

In hopes of helping you, I will say that the .357 Herrett is a heavy slammer. Really good for hunting. I have a .30 Herrett 10" in this collection. Good in it's own right, NOT as hard hitting as the .357.

Good luck. Your offer is a good one. (How about the grip & forend ? Stock or Pach's ? )

Disclaimer: This is NOT a "Ghost Bump" , but what I consider a pertinent commentary, aimed at benefitting a potential buyer as well as the seller.

With respect,

Owl

it has black plastic grips and stocks. It has a piece on the end of the barrel that I am told is a attachment point for a bipod (I don't know much about This item) The guy selling it has a small gunshop that has a small following so this gun has been on the rack for a few years. Anybody thinking about buying this let me sugest that you should just MAKE AN OFFER!! Thanks Owl and I agree that this was not a "ghost bump" but it is a few days to halloween! Mark ps please use e-mail if you want to contact me on this item marasmfal@comcast.net

BTT the owner's bottom price on this is $300 plus the shipping of your flavor.

I know very little about these, can a 16" barrel and rifle stock be installed legally or is there even such a stock set up for this?

owlcreekok · November 03, 2005, 04:30

PBM, generally speaking, yes. Stocks are around. IIRC the Contender carbines as sold had 20" tubes. At least the 7x30 Waters I had was. I don't remember the details on the rules. Likely get a lot of commentary,,,,FWIW.

The stainless T/C's I believe, were a line that may not interchange with all others. "Armalloy ?" I know the Encore won't interchange with the "standard" T/C, and the latest versions won't interchange with the "older" versions.

At $300 this is a real good deal. If it was Blue, I would snap it up, even tho' I have just gotten a bunch of T/C stuff cuz I could not sell it.

If you plan to put a rifle stock on a T/C Contender, the barrel must be at least 16" long for it to be legal. Super 14 is a no go unless you permanently install some kind of flash hider or other muzzle device. Otherwise it's considered to be a SBR and requires a tax stamp.

There are several types of synthetic and wood stocks that fit T/C Contenders on the market.

Man thats a great price! I got one in .35 Rem and .223 Great trigger and tight groups.

FWIW you can post pics and not be a contributor. You just have to post the internet address (URL) of the picture and surround it with <.img>... <./img>. This is assuming that the pic resides somewhere else on the net.

**C2VETTE** · November 21, 2005, 22:18

owlcreekok · November 22, 2005, 10:12
