Price check on TC Carbine barrels

[30HERRETT]

Price check on Contender carbine barrels.

I need a price check on a complete set (11) of 21" TC Contender Carbine barrel all NIB single screw forend setup .

22
222
223
7-30 waters
30-30
44 mag
357 max
375
45-410
Can't remember the other 2 .

These are all nib tapered barrels with sights just as they left the factory .

Wow, no idea what the set is worth, but that's a find!  I'd love to have that 357Max...

FWIW the early single screw 21" carbine barrels were factory catalog items in:

22LR
22 Hornet
222 Rem
223 Rem
7TCU
7X30 Waters
30-30 Win
357 Rem Max
35 Rem
44 MAG

They also offered a 21" .410 Smooth Bore VR then (the 45/410 carbine BBL was a 16 1/4").   

The 375 Win came along in '91-'92, about when they transitioned to the 2 screw forends, so I don't remember if any of them were single screw or all two screw.   I probably had most of them at one time or another all over the years, and those for the other cartridges also offered in later 2 screw mount 21" barrels.   Traded the last single screw 21" BBL I had (NIB 222 Rem) about 10 years ago for a NIB Winchester Model 55 single shot 22LR semi auto rifle if that helps any.   It's a pretty rare rifle NIB that I later sold a couple of years later for 4 times what I considered the 222 barrel to be worth at the time I traded it.

Probably your best bet to get a true collector value for a "set" of single screws would be to contact the TCA, or Ed.   They would want to buy them most likely though, so it would be nice to know before.   Maybe Ron Sable could give you an idea?

Hard to price a set some are hard to sell ...

     Both the 16 and 21 inch tapered barrels have become fairly rare on the market since TC went to the 23" bull barrel, and, of course this has jacked the price along with the fact that new barrels have gone up a lot too.  I agree with Larry, I'd start with talking to Ron or Ed(both are straight shooters).  I've been keeping my eye out for deals on either 16 or 21's and it just ain't happening any more.  My old addage of "I know sooner or later I find one in good shape for $150.00" no longer works.

I'd say $150-$200 ea.

Ed  of ed's tc usually gets around 255. for his. I would think  that some of your barrels are worth at least that if not more. Most dealers will not give you what they are worth, because of the profit margin,
