going to be hard to find barrels that will fit it. TC changed the barrel lugs 4 times thru the years, and yours is the second change Contender. I have, (or had) several friends at TC and they each said that 270,000 was the breaking point. Under that some barrels would drop right on and fit if they were made during that early time period. Any barrel made after that time period (and I don't remember the actual date of the change) would not fit those early frames. My recommendation is don't buy a Contender that is under serial number 270,000. Just my humble opinion.
