The SSK Contender Barrel in .44 Magnum (SSK part no. C8021Z) is a 16.25-inch stainless steel barrel for the Thompson/Center Contender single-shot platform. The Contender is built around interchangeable barrels, so a swap is how one frame becomes a different gun, and this SSK Firearms barrel gives it a .44 Magnum chambering in a longer, carbine-length tube. Stainless steel construction suits a hunting rifle that sees weather. It is a barrel for owners of an existing Contender frame.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .44 Magnum, the cartridge this barrel is built to shoot.
• Barrel length is 16.25 inches, a longer tube than a standard Contender pistol barrel.
• The barrel is stainless steel, which resists corrosion in field use.
• It is made for the Thompson/Center Contender frame, so it fits an existing Contender rather than another platform.
• The platform is a single-shot design, so the barrel is a single chamber with no magazine.
