Description:
For consideration is a very nice Thompson Center Contender G1 break action rifle in .222 Remington caliber. The Thompson/Center Contender is a break-action single-shot pistol or rifle that was introduced in 1967 by Thompson/Center Arms. It can be chambered in cartridges from .22 Long Rifle to .45-70 Government. The most unusual feature of the Contender is how the barrel is attached to the frame. By removing the fore-end, a large hinge pin is exposed; by pushing this hinge pin out, the barrel can be removed. Since the sights and extractor remain attached to the barrel in the Contender design, the frame itself contains no cartridge-specific features. A barrel of another caliber or length can be installed and pinned in place, the fore-end replaced, and the pistol is ready to shoot with a different barrel and pre-aligned sights. This allowed easy changes of calibers, sights, and barrel lengths, with only a flat screwdriver being required for this change. This particular Contender has a Kendrick Texas Contender barrel in .222 Remington caliber. The rifle exhibits some high edge and muzzle wear. The stock and forend have a few handling marks but nothing serious. The 22" bull barrel has a good bore with strong rifling and a crowned muzzle. The barrel is drilled and tapped for installation of an optic. A trigger extension on the hammer makes it easier to cock with an optic installed. This fine T/C Contender would make an outstanding varmint shwacker.
