I have been wanting to try a contender for a while now, I found a G2 with a match grade machine 7-30 waters barrel, pacmyer grip and forend in really nice condition. My question is if I pay 600 for it and it’s not my thing could I get my money back? I think the barrel is 12 or 14” and stainless. TIA for opinions.

Simple answer: Yes
G2 frames are hard to find right now and are selling for crazy prices

That is a very reasonable price. The barrel alone is worth $400. Get brass if you can smile

Yes. Recently things have been selling for crazy prices. Get it and shoot it. If you don’t like it, list it asap and you should be able to get your money back.

Blued easy open around my area, used but not abused.....

Hookeye, if you don’t want that 223 bbl & if its a carbine length or longer, let me know.
Posted By: hookeye Re: Contender Question - 04/20/21
Nope. Both the blued and stainless .223 are 14".

Thought about threading one for an XM177 style brake
