You can have a custom barrel made by MGM or others in any barrel length you want. Anything over 16" has to be a carbine stocked firearm, I believe. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. There are 2 rules to success: 1. Never tell everything that you know.

I have all three and the 14" is the favorite. The TC Custom Sop would made any length you desired in Contender or Encore. We did't know how good we had it when that custom shop was in business.

I have several that are T-C marked but also have MGM-identified parts (a VR on a 28 guage Contender barrel for example, and another on a .410). Not sure what the relationship between the original T-C and MGM was, but I sure would be interested to know. I now get all my "T-C" barrels from MGM. Was Mike Armstrong. Got logged off; couldn't log back on. RE-registered my old call sign, Mesa. FNG. Again. Mike Armstrong

Mesa..when the custom shop closed, a TC dealer bought out all unfinished and partially finished blanks & barrels, & remaining inventory. They were then contoured, cut, crowned, chambered, and finished by MGM. those barrels are identified by the dual stampings T-C / MGM. i ended up with 7 of them, all are fine shooters. ============================================================
