An early Christmas present to myself

[jmohme]

I received an email from the local gun shop of a used firearm that they took in.
I picked it up two days ago.

Nice Contender! What are the barrels chambered for?

 

[jmohme]

30/30 and 22 wmr.
They are one or the reason I jumped on this one. Those two fill a void in my barrels lineup.

Nice. I've had Contenders and Encores, though none in the safe at the moment. I'd jump on a nice Contender in the right cartridge, too.

Merry Christmas!

Contender update:

Looking through the extras that came with it, I saw that one of the spare grips did not have the usual TC end cap. Yes, I know someone just modified a Disney coin, but it still makes me laugh inside.

As far as I am concerned, I have a rare, possibly one of a kind Bambi slaying Walt Disney World comemerative Thompson Center Contender!

You bought the barrels and got the rest free!

jmohme: All I can say is you're going to love it.

Here's mine and it is serious fun. I have a few barrels and grips.

Now I want to go shoot mine in 7-30 Waters. Looks like a range trip in my future.

They are addicting. I only have two frames at the moment, but I do have 7 barrels and looking for a couple more.
