I just purchased a old Model Contender by TC, it is after 195,000 serial#. It is very stiff opening up this gun,does anyone have any thoughts about loosening this up ?
Thanks
Can anyone explain the difference between Contender & g2 Contender ?
Thanks

about the how the fram is register I am looking at a 223 that is a rifle and will be wanting to change it over to a pistol from time to time I emailed the dealer and asked how it was reg. and he emailed me
that with a form 4473 the FFL can check Rifle or Handgun.
is this so or does it need to be register as a pistol from tc[?][?]
thanks

Especially if you have the older 1 pc. (i.e. not split) locking bolt. Makes a world of difference. Operating is easier/smoother and lock up more secure. Do it.

As mentioned, you can get the easy open work done by T/C and it does make quite a difference. But they will make your internals "factory stock" and I just prefer that not be done to mine after years of the parts wearing in together. I have other more modern T/Cs that I shoot more often, I guess I just prefer to keep the oldie as is.
