Want To Buy Contender Or encore in 300 blackout

[rifleman 1981]

Anybody have a contender or an encore in 300 blackout? I’d prefer a pistol but I’m not going to be really picky. Something like this would be awesome.

I have a Contender in 300 Whisper but, it was a gift from the wife and not for sale. I threaded the barrel for my suppressor . There used to be a guy at most of the local gun shows that had a ton of TC barrels. I think he went by Ed's Contenders. Maybe you can find him on the web.

Man, I have a bullberry is a 10" barrel 300x221 AKA 300 whisper, sitting on the safe. I haven't shot it in a while, I have dies and plenty of fire form brass. Let me know if this will interest you.

I've had a 14" Contender barrel, a 15" Encore barrel and a Remington XP-100 rebarreled to 300 Whisper for IHMSA silhouette competitions and they were real tack drivers and they all three liked the same load.

Fire formed 221 Fireball brass.
Remington 7 1/2BR primers.
Sierra 168 gr. HPBT Matchking bullets.
18.5 grs. Accurate AA1680.

As most here know the 300 Whisper, 300 BO and 300-221 are all three pretty much the same round but since JD Jones of SSK invented and patented the 300 Whisper cartridge the cartridge name and case dimensions had to be changed very slightly to keep from stepping on JD's toes.

For Contender and Encore barrels, frames, handgun scopes etc. contact Ed Kirkpatrick in OKC, his web site is not up to date and he's not real good about returning calls or emails so just keep calling (day or evenings) till he actually answers the phone.........405-879-0879.

I had a Contender years ago, for situations where single-shot is good (hunting, silhouette comps, etc.) they are awesome guns.
