Thanks for the welcomes!
Let me have this chance to publically say thanks to "DAN".
    A few weeks ago I was hunting a part for my Contender and endured way too many web sites, manufactures' home pages and the "well practiced" run around from T/C.  Apparently T/C doesn't like their first generation Contenders when it comes to replacement pars.  I discovered Greybeard Outdoors, joined in thinking one-last-try and if I didn't find anything I would at least have a shinny 22 caliber tent peg.  Dan simply asked me for my address and a bolt appeared.  It fit quite nicely and I have a barrel back in service.  By the way, my grandson is absolutely fascinated with the meeting of a fast 40 gr VMAX and a water bottle.
    Again heartfelt thanks to Dan.
