Re: Wanted: Grips for Contender for a Southpaw
Steve, you're in luck!
My brother recently abandoned the platform and gave me his accessories.
He's left-handed and I am not, therefore I have these to offer. All have mounting bolt inside.

Lemme know if you're interested.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Re: 30 TCU
After reading this old thread and having my buddy pull his hair out for a set of 257 TCU dies I figured I'd chime in.
Wes Ugalde didn't include the .308 in his TCU lineup.
