In a single shot the 30-30 is not your grandpa’s 30-30, unless you choose to make it so. Shot and hunted deer and hogs with it for over 50 years. I have owned 5 different makes of the 30-30 chambering in a single shot configuration. There are at least a dozen books that have been published with Contender specific load data in them, higher pressure than the Marlin or Winchester factory loads. Nothing has changed about that situation. You must always meet the two numbers for a rifle, the minimum barrel length and the minimum OAL. You can not legally put or have the pistol barrel on with the rifle stock mounted. Reverse the process, remove the barrel then the rifle stock, put on the pistol grip and then the pistol barrel and it is a legal pistol. So you can take the pistol barrel off, remove the pistol grip, install he rifle stock, then put the 16” + rifle barrel on.it is then legally a rifle. The final outcome boils down to you can not put a stock on the pistol, and you can NOT put a pistol barrel on a rifle. The TC Pistol to Carbine change was a long fight, between the silhouette organizations and the ATF. Your state-specific legal milage may vary: I put a Weaver-type scope base from EABCo with an integral rear peep sight on the latter:įYI - here is the ATF's 2011 letter regarding their stance on the Contender rifle/pistol issue. I've got two Encore carbine barrels: 22 K Hornet and a 357 Magnum necked down to. No doubt this is excessively cautious advice - anyone else want to chime in with actual experiences here? I would also email them first to get their opinion in writing before ordering, asking particularly about their exchange policy in case you do encounter problems. If I was in your position, I would source a new carbine barrel from a Contender-specific supplier, such as MGM, Haus of Arms or E. I know what T/C's official answer is, but I've also heard a few complaints about occasional compatibility problems on G1 frames. I think one of your assumptions, about G2 barrel fit on G1 frames, appears unanswered so far.įirst of all, I have an Encore, so I can't speak firsthand about Contender barrel fitting issues.
