Can you post pics of the frame and the locking blots on the barrel?
Frame from the side, locking bolts from the back and looking down.
Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

where are locking bolts located, my Contender is an old one build on early 70's, serial 30xxx with a 10" 44 mag barrel
got it as B-Day present on August this year, took it to the field and fired couple of times 3 months ago

Here's what I'm trying to find out
I suspect you have a locking bolt like either one on the left, what we're hoping for is you've got a split set like on the right.
If it's a single bolt then your best bet is going to be calling TC (S&W) and work from there, or buy a set of split lugs from one of the vendors that has them.
Bullberry will sell a set for $25
