Today I was out and about hunting squirrels in the AM. I had sat in the woods and did have some opportunities but nothing in the way of taking good shots.
I did have one shot but it was a miss. I was using my TC Contender with a Super 16 stainless 22 lr barrel. This barrel is no longer made. It is a tapered barrel that can be used as a carbine or specialty pistol.
I had a thought as I was hunting for the bushy tailed creatures that the barrel was a tad long for what I was doing. It is fine off a rest or bench but if I had a shorter barrel or had this one cut down it would be handier for a lack of a better term.
So my thought was to possibly sell it and use the funds to but a 10 or 12 inch barrel.
Another thought, have this barrel cut and crowned to 12 inches. It would be what you can call high speed low drag outfit.
Not sure what I may end up doing.

There are usually a bunch of 10" 22lr barrels on Ebay.

- That barrel could be reamed out to any .22 Center fire too. - WB, 2018-09-03, 12:30
