I am looking to sell my Contender 30-30 complete pistol.

Frame does show signs of wear and tear (scratches and dings). Front sight has been removed and screws inserted. Pistol has a weaver scope mount and rings. Grips are Pachmayr. Unknown round count (likely low. My great grandfather bought it new in the early 80s I believe and was known to purchase pistols and rifles only to admire them sitting in his safe.) Bore is shiny with strong rifling. Minor cosmetic scratches on barrel. Crown is intact and in great shape.

The opening mechanism may need some minor adjustment. Takes more force than my other contenders to open, and is a big rough unlatching. Aside from that, mechanically, everything else is in order.

Looking for $400 + shipping. (Plus obligatorily FFL documents)

PM me with your email or number and I will send a link to the photo album.

Thanks for looking!

This is one of the earlier Contender frames before they did the Easy Open conversion. That is why it is hard to open compared to newer frames.

Oh interesting. Guess that makes sense. I did dig up some info talking about easy open versions, but never thought to check the SN range.

Sorry, I just saw your post. I was in Israel for the past month and a half and didn't think to check the boards often. I actually just sold the last remaining contender to a co-worker.

Cheers
