« on: February 14, 2009, 05:03:56 AM »

rod, I believe TC lists a 410 VR barrel for the contender/G2 frames. 24" length I believe. You could call the custom shop and inquire about other lengths. 1-800-243-4570 is the number. Regards

Snakes at 30 yards?   I'll bite my tongue on that one.   ::)

If you really want it for snakes, a 10" pistol barrel is plenty long.   If you want it as a shotgun for game for the cook pot the 21" or 23" is the ticket.

The .410 barrels from the Classic Contender frame days will work on the G2, so that gives you the barrel length options you want with factory barrels instead of having to buy custom.

The 21" VR barrels are smooth bore with a removeable full choke.

The Super 16" VR barrels are 45/410, so do have rifling and a removeable full choke just like the 10" VR and 10" bull.

I've had several over the years (10" VR 45/410, 10" Bull 45/410 and 21" VR).   Only ones I liked and found to be really useable though as shotguns beyond PBR was the 21" smooth bores.

YMMV

My son picked up a new 21 inch vent rib smooth bore from ed last year and loves it and at 25 yards it gives a very good pattern.

410 will be no problem on a G2. I have a 28ga T/C Custom barrel on my G2.
Haven't shot any snakes with it   ;D  but it sure has put alot of rabbits on the table.

I did not know you could get something other than 410 in the G2 (shotgun wise that is). Thanks for the reply.........Rod.
