![]() ![]() I had a problem with the barrel when I bought the gun I tried some 44s out of it and everytime I'd shoot the brass would split. The barrel has a choke to shoots the hotshot loads and you take it out to shoot bullets. TC made there own shotshell ammo for the 44mag back in the day. No that barrel is a 44mag TC Hot Shot barrel from factory. Please help, I appreciate any and all suggestions, ideas or experiences. I am leaning towards the idea that maybe my contender's age has a lot to do with this problem as mine is one of the first one's off the assembly line, made approximately 1964. ![]() Has anybody had this happen to them before? I text Catwhacker and he responded right away( never a lack of communication ) He mentioned that his contender was at least 20 years old and that he never had such a problem. 22 hornet barrel and again it went in nicely with out any problems but as soon as it locked it didn't want to open once again, to remove it I had to take off the pin once again and remove it that way. I removed it once again and I looked at the frame and it looked a little try so i added a drop or two of remington oil and padded dry the excess of the frame. 410/45LC barrel that I also have for the Contender and it too went in nicely. 22 Hornet bbl that I just received, to my surprise the barrel went right in and locked up nicely without any movement whatsover what many may consider a perfect fit, upon trying to break open the chamber it would not budge, it was locked as though it was welded shut, I removed the locking pin and had to remove the barrel, I visually inspected the barrel and the frame and nothing seems outta the ordinary. 22LR Octagon barrel from my contender and removed nicely and easily. ![]() Last night finally broke down and made some time to put it together as I was already planning to go hunting today, well we can't plan for things and unfortunately sometimes things don't go as planned, as such is the case. soon after I had things to do with kids, family ya'll know how that goes. 22 Hornet barrel from a Great Guy here on the forum, you guys may know him as Catwhacker I was so excited to get the barrel in the mail quickly. ![]()
