I picked up a frame in a trade with another forum member recently, and -- if the truth be known -- I 've been a bit greedy in stockpiling frames recently. So I am calling this one "surplus" and moving it out. It's blued and ser. # 195XXX. It does have some normal bluing wear, and there are a couple of rather light scuffs around the hinge pin hole. But everything appears "tight" and in good condition (I have never used it). $205 shipped to your FFL. For $20 more ($225 total shipped), I'll add in your choice of Pachmayr or TC finger groove grip and will even include a hammer extension. I will consider a partial trade for a Contender carbine buttstock (prefer wood but may consider synthetic) or a Boyd's laminate buttstock for a Contender. I'd also consider a Contender carbine forend -- or a combination of the two.

I am listing the frame here first; tonight or tomorrow, I may list it in the classifieds, but I wanted you guys to have first crack at it. For quickest response, e-mail me at btomek@gvec.net

I'll be gone a couple hours this afternoon as I finish my last appointment of the day but will be checking my e-mail early this evening
