$300 on a good day.
Sorry but it's just a barrel and there are no more frames.
Somebody wanting a 22 is going to buy a complete bolt rifle for not much more than $300.
All the old farts like us already have all the barrels that we will ever need. That's part of the reason that S&W closed TC. No demand.
You just might have something there. Leading up to my last (and I mean
last) Contender adventure, TC barrels could be found at almost clearance prices on sites like Midway. It’s long been a notion of mine that the Tupperware®️ rifles everyone was making made the TC rifles less appealing in the market, since they were initially priced at about the same level as TC factory barrels. Even TC jumped into that market with both feet. I suspect they also lost a couple of shirts with the Dimension and one or two others. Maybe the old owners saw what was coming and that prompted their sale.
Wouldn’t surprise me if when the current rush to arm prompted by fear of what the gummint will do subsides, there was another slump in gun sales overall. Happened after the last rush IIRC.
