Fore arm questions
« on: May 18, 2011, 08:21:05 AM »
Hello all!
   I'm new to contenders and my question is: what fore arm do I need if I have an old contender frame and a G2 23" 22lr match barrel?  Any clarification on forearms would be appreciated.

The 23" barrels are the current offering on the G2s and are considered "heavy", so you'll want the G2-style forearm.  Another option is to take the carbine forearm from the original contender and open up the channel for the heavier contour.  Recently did that with a walnut forearm that was made for the 21" tapered carbine barrels.
Can't hardly wait on deer season and the 2016 Presidential Elections...
