  [/size=3Hello,
  
  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

  barrels are drilled and tapped , just take off the rear sight and you will find 4 holes for your scope mount base ,
  
  if I remember right the 10" barrels use a single screw in the forearm where the 14" use 2 screws to hold the forearm on , I'm not sure what the 12" uses [:I]

  10 inch barrels are from the original contender era. They will work on the G2 frame and you can use the single screw forearms of the earlier model, but my personal opinion is that they don't look all that good with the new model, nor does the new model forends look all that good on the original model. Of course that is just my opinion.
  
  Grips and buttstocks will not interchange between original and G2 contender models.
  
  
  
  If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
