I sent a one-piece locking bolt back to T/C for replacement with a two-piece assy. The replacement part I received has the "roller" or cross-pin on the bolt made as part of the bolt. It is an "ear" cast/forged on the side of the bolt half, and is no longer a separate piece. I guess this will be a part of the G-2? I don't know if it's a good thing or not, only time will tell..............Bug.

Makes good sense to make the Contender locking bolts like the Encore's. The cut only weakens the locking bolts, and when they break, which they do from time to time, it is at this cut out.

YES..... quite interesting.
