I got a new old stock Contender barrel, 221 Fireball. I mean it is like 10 years old but new. The left bolt will not stay in place.It has a two piece bolt. Why and how to fix it? Any help appreciated.

Contacted Thompson. Sending a prepaid shipping to send it and they will repair and check out the barrel for free, if it's there part that is at fault. Actually got a response in one day.

You can get new locking bolts from Mike Bellm. Inexpensive. Should fit and allow for safe function without any stoning but if not a bit is all that's needed.
