I have a Thompson Center Contender G1 frame for sale. It is the easy open frame with a serial number of 333xxx. I am asking 335 shipped.

That is a an easy open frame. Look at the pin hole above the trigger.

That is correct. Also, that high of a S/N also indicates an EZ open frame, IME.

Just as information. If your frame (And the above one does) has the circled pin in picture below it is an easy open
Safe shooting

Hi AK
May I suggest you clarify that that is clear tape holding the pin in the front of the receiver?
When I first looked at it it looked like the finish was blemished
And you said it was good
Now I think I see that’s tape not a finish issue

Good luck with your sale

Yes like said above, there is clear tape holding the pin in, and not a finish issue. Sorry I thought it was clear in the pictures

Original Contender frames had a different safety (cross pin) and you needed a screwdriver to convert from shooting rimfire to centerfire. The easy open frames had the selector switch type safety, center position being safe.
