I have one of the TC Contender Carbines. The .22 barrel was from the Custom Shop that someone had on a table at a show for $150.00...has been an excellent shooter. Barrel is 18" long and full bull profile. Used to have a folding stock on the gn which was fine for long rifle barrels but it made me a little nervous with the 18 and 16.5" barrels because folded it was less than the 26" minimum under Federal regulations. TC said it was legal as that was a "storage" position...I didn't feel like being a test case and sold it. The gun now wears a Bell&Carlson Carbolite thumbhole stock and it shoots great.
I have some shorts and CB Longs that I need to try out. Also just picked up a Marlin 39 TDS that will cycle shorts that should be tried also...
