Anyone have any interest in a gently used factory T;/C Contender carbine in-line mzldr barrel in .45 x 209 chambering? I also have many bullets. Fits G2 Contender frame only. My mzldr hunting now requires .50 caliber minimum. I will post photos when I get time later this week. Let me know if you might be interested - haven't even figured up a price yet. Thanks. Dave

Price ?

Hunted PA for years in Potter .

When did PA go to 50 cal min.?

As far as I know the only firearm that has to be 50 caliber is handguns. Rifles have to be 44 caliber and up.

I was hot for one of these when they first came out. A local dealer had the whole package at an attractive price. I found it impossible to get down on the stock far enough to use the iron sights. A scope would be different of course. Still an attractive lightweight package.

I love mine. I sold my 50 encore barrel to buy the Contender in 45. Its a deer hammer.

.50 cal minimum was not for PA; I had plans for hunting elsewhere.
Working on getting photos if my son will part with the package.
Thanks.
