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.

All of the parts before oxide blasting that will get refinished
.
The barrel degreased and blasted ready for a new life
.
All of the parts with the first coat of Cerakote matte black
.
This 357 shooting 180grn subsonic loads is quieter than any of my 9mm pistols with subsonic ammo and a can.
