ad closed SOLD: Thompson Center Contender 30-30

[FireMedic]

Good afternoon,

I am cleaning out my safe and getting rid off some "that's a god price" firearms. This is on is a Thompson Contender Super 14 chambered in 30-30. Looks brand new except for two exceptions. First is a simmons 4x optic that was on the pistol when I purchased it, I think that was an after market add. The second is the only blemish I can see on the pistol and that is a small ding in the wood on the "right" side. I took a picture specifically of the damage so you can see it up close. All original parts, manuals, etc is all in the box, original box. Additionally, the box also has 2 extra barrels chambered in 45 colt (as seen to the left pop the bullet in the picture of the spare) and a 30-06 barrel with attached scope rings! Asking $800.

Found a new (to me) 30-06 barrel for the pistol as well. Same price. Now with three caliber compatibility

[onemancoyote]

Are sure it’s a 30-06 for a Contender? I bet it’s an Encore barrel. 

[FireMedic]

Its possible. It's the only Thompson Ive ever had (barrel came with) and it is marked "Thompson Center Arms 30-06" and that is it. One other person messaged about the same thing. I'm not saying y'all are wrong. I just don't know where the barrel would have come from.

[onemancoyote]

I shot Contenders and Encores for years. There were no 30-06 factory Contender barrels built to my knowledge. Too much pressure. Try to fit it in the frame. Bet you a dollar it won’t fit.

Yeah, he's right, even Thompson/Center Arms says they never made a contender barrel in 30-06.

[FireMedic]

Excellent. Well, since I did not raise the price when I added the 30-06 barrel that is evidently for a gun I do not own, buy my contender, and get an encore barrel for free... What a win win!

If you ever get to Chattanooga I would take this

Do you know if it is a G1 or G2 version?

What is the year?

Clarify question

[FireMedic]

So I just looked at the owners manual and the firearm itself and I cannot see a year or G1/G2 marking. SO I have no idea

[spikehunter]

It’s not a g2. Can you tell if the hammer has selector (rimfire vs centerfire)? That will tell you some. 

[EDMIT]

 

It's G1.

 

[FireMedic]

So going off the box (original box clams to be a super 14 contender) that I have and the video graciously provided by EDMIT, it is a G1 contender. it has the cougars on either side, no selector on the hammer as far as I can tell, and it does not have the built up side walls.
