Got this T/C Contender 221 Rem barrel & fore stock from my son. He got it from a guy
who had lost it for a long time. Looks like it was lost underground instead of in a basement.
I have 5 T/C Encore receivers & several pistol barrels which is why I got this to keep, but
as you can tell from the condition it will never be perfect on the outside again but the bore,
chamber, & moving parts are ok after cleaning & buffing, tumbling, & bluing.
Like I say, the bore & chamber appear perfect. It is a 10" barrel.
I don't have a Contender receiver & wonder if it will be worth buying one in order to
use this caliber which I am not familiar with? Anyone have experience with this caliber?
I have heard of the 221 Rem but why is it associated with the Fireball pistol.
I am familiar with 8" T/C Encore my pistol in 7mm08 caliber shooting well but not this
caliber of course.
I reload everything & wonder if it is worth the trouble?
I have finished all except bluing the rear sight & my wife will do the fore stock.
Any thoughts?
