Thomposn Center Contender Question.
Do the 10" barrels, and the super 14 barrels run on the same frame?

Ah, thanks so much. 0 -
Randy, you can also install the carbine length barrels on the Contender frame. With the addition of a butt stock it converts into a nice little rifle. My 25-35 carbine with a 4X Burris weighs a shade over five pounds. My 45-70 goes two pounds more. They are addictive, I have nine barrels. There are over 100 barrels for sale on the auction side and you don't need an FFL to buy them. Yer fren, Eddie 0 -
Great to see ya post Eddie!![:)] Yeah, a buddy's dad had one when we were kids('77-'78-'79), and I've wanted one ever since. I was just today looking over on the auction at them. Good to know about the longer barrels, and shoulder stock. 0 -

Glad to see someone else likes the 25-35 WCF. I had a barrel made (by MGM) and although I have some wildcats and other modern calibers known for accuracy this cartridge stands side by side with them. Using 75 grain AMax the thing does "3 shots, 1 hole" all day long. And it's nice & easy to shoot, doesn't use much powder and brass is easily available or made from 30-30.
The T/C single shot rifles do their best, it seems to me, in these midcaliber (say, 24 to 28 maybe) sizes that aren't exactly barnburners on velocity. I like my 16" 45-70 too, but you definitely know you're sending a few hundred grains of lead downrange.0 -
I like the 7mmTCU in carbine length for deer in PA. 0
