Some of that stuff is too hot for a Contender Frame.

I shot a 7.62x39 for 20 years on an Original Contender Frame with no problem. Have 303 British too and it works great.

The 7.62x54R is way too hot for a Contender of any type.

Anyone ever have a contender barrel in old - Bucky, 2020-06-27, 17:48
