It's wierd to find no topics here, a nice fresh new forum, on the very day that I get some exciting news related to T/C.
I got a call from the T/C Custom shop today. The first batch of custom 6.8 SPC T/C Contender barrels is on its way to Ko-tonics.
The first big question everyone will ask is: does it have Ko-tonics chamber and rifling? Answer: NO. It's a standard SAAMI chamber and has six-groove, 1:10" twist rifling. This should NOT be an issue with this gun, because higher pressure will not cause the kind of feed/extract/eject problems that come with too much pressure in an AR-15. The 1:10 rifling will easily stabilize bullets over 130 grains, and you will be able to seat your bullets without the constraint of a magazine to limit COL.
These are standard T/C barrels that I have had chopped to 18". T/C's standard length is 23" for Contender barrels, which I think is way too long and cumbersome, especially for 6.8 SPC.
SPECS:
I will be selling a G2 frame with composite stock and forend to go with the barrel, or just the barrel alone. FFL required for recieving the frame. I will also be offering a Warne Weaver/Piccy mount.
Barrel alone will be $280, with frame/stock/forend it will be $620.
The cool thing is that the rifle should weigh 5 pounds and be less than 32" in length.
I'll let you know when they get here, post pics, etc.
