Need help - Thompson Center Contender Value

Post by GriffsGuns »

Hey everyone!

Im brand new to the forum and wanted to see if anyone could help me out here. Here's the story. I found these 2 T/C Contender's at an estate "hoarder" sale buried underneath all kinds of junk. This guy was definitely a gun smith/tinkerer. I was hoping someone could give me some more general info on these and the approx value? Thanks so much

No pics that I can see. Your best bet unless they are modified is to check Gunbroker completed auctions -- that actually sold---

Pics were there yesterday, gone now.
Appeared to be Unlimited guns.

Scroll down some to see the linked photos. First one looks like a .22 UAS creation for the flop position, but I can't imagine why the muzzle brake! Seems to me the more heavily modified Contender would be harder to sell without more info. The other should fall in line with the usual .22 LR TC prices. Of which I haven't paid much attention, lately.

A couple of novel shooters indeed.
First one would go for around 5-600
second, I'd venture about 425
I've modified my stuff before and usually it makes it less sellable.
