He is saying that you must put a 21" barrel on the frame with the shoulder stock.

Re: T/C Contender question
I'm not even sure as to the appeal of a SBR for a Contender~~is it a concealment thing?

As a SBR, it might have some appeal to a hunter - it's a hunting handgun by design - who wanted a very handy, and maneuverable brush gun. A ten inch barreled Contender in .44 Mag with a red dot optic would hang very nicely from the shoulder while walking through the woods, come up fast and pack a punch.

Re: T/C Contender question... No SBR needed
10" Bbl threaded and pinned with 7" fake can thats been vented wearing a custom forearm and buttstock that I built.
Chambered in 30 Herrett... Handy Deer Thumper
The SBR avoidance was satisfied by pinning the threaded extension to the barrel.
But still only offers the ballistics available from the 10" pistol barrel but it seems to be enough.
Obtaining the stability using the 168 gr. bullet required I get the FPS up to 1550 with the 1:14 twist given by TC manufacturing.

Re: T/C Contender question... No SBR needed
You can legally convert a pistol to a rifle and back again but in the long run it is much easier just to buy another frame. They are relatively inexpensive compared to all of the barrels, scopes, and reloading dies you will be getting.
Then you have a dedicated rifle and pistol. You will be bringing both (and maybe some extra barrels) to the range.

Make it look something like this
... I might add that if this chamber is chosen, that only handloads be used, and those loaded to result in chamber pressure under 41,000 PSI.
The loads shown are only loaded to 39,000 psi.Last edited by gemihur; March 11th, 2019 at 07:04 AM. Reason: safety recommendation
