I purchased a TC Contender in 357 mag that had alot of scratches
and alot of wear on the finnish for $250.
First thing I did was send the barrel to Mike at Tonado Tech to get
the barrel threaded and a thread protector made.
Like always the barrel came back pefect, Thank you Mike!
I had to make a dovetail cut for the longer forearm screw
and found hand cutting into a barrel took some time to get it perfect so the screws would line up.

This 357 shooting 180grn subsonic loads is quieter than any of my 9mm pistols with subsonic ammo and a can.

Thats a Contender rifle forearm that i custom fit to the barrel, in the pictures
you can see the new unfinnished dovetail cut with a forearm screw mount that i installed so the forearm would mount.

Very nice!
Are you using a standard 9mm can?
I have an SWR Trident 9 and had a similar project in mind.
