I have been collecting Contender barrels since I bought my 1st one in 1981. I once aspired to own one of each variation. I've given up on that theme because the variations are almost endless. They made 12" blued barrels both with and without sights. Stainless 12" barrels I think without. And without going back and looking at my old catalogs, I couldn't tell you in what order they made them. But here are the chamberings that they cataloged. I have or have had all of these, except the .45/.410 and the .357 Max. I have T/C catalogs all the way back to #1.


Order #----- Caliber
12"--- 4610 223 rem
12"--- 4620 7x30 Waters
12"--- 4640 .30/30 Win
12"--- 4630 .357 Max
12"--- 4650 .35 Rem
12"--- 4087 .375 Win
12"--- 4660 .44 Rem Mag
12"--- 4670 .45/70 Govt
12"--- 4086 .45/70 Govt
12"--- .45/410 VR

They also made 14" barrels with muzzle tamer in some chamberings, but I was never interested in those, so without looking I couldn't tell you which.
