Nope

Hmmm. As pointed out...just because it says
Quote:
THOMPSON CENTER ARMS 30-06
does not mean that it is a Contender barrel.
I am pretty sure that all of their barrels say Thompson Center Arms etc.
If you have a Contender and you bought that barrel to use, you may have wasted your money (Or you may just have a reason to buy an Encore)
That all being said......the date on the box gives pause for thought since T/C did not begin manufacture of the Encore until about ten years later than that 1985 date.
It is also possible that the barrel is for a TCR 83 rifle.
Question: how long is the barrel?
