T/C Contender source??

Your best bet will be to watch the EE like a hawk and maybe try a WTB ad. Frames and barrels pop up once in a while but they seem to sell fast, even at high asking prices. I have a 223 and a 22lr barrel for mine but I’d love to find a 357 mag barrel for it.

I’ve never understood why these aren’t more popular in Canada. Such a nice light accurate rifle should sell like crazy if more retailers stocked them.
 
I run guns will bring them in to Canada and if you ask some of the other stores will too also.
Make sure you get rifle model to avoid being restricted(pistol)

Who is the Thompson/Center go-to source??? I'm looking for a Contender, preferably G2 and preferably stainless/plated, but I'd consider other options...

I'm going to be listing a brand new never fired T/C Venture weather shield in .308 shortly if your interested we can talk.
 
I've been shooting Contenders since the early 1980's they are a fun setup to play with.

My last two non-restricted G2 frames came from IRUNGUNS.com

I have over the years purchased them directly from Canadian stores plus got into the carbines before the US export laws changed at first I was able to just have them shipped directly to me from the States now the best bet is IRUNGUNS that is if you buy thru them.

Ron at nine35 is a great guy to deal with I totally recommend his company.

T/C Contender carbines have been my go to hunitng carbines for over 25 years now started out with one with a 21" barrel chambered in 30-30 it is now a wildcat 308 Bellm = 150gr bullets at 2620fps shot some nice game including my biggest ever antlered mule deer buck with that combo.

I shot my last years blacktail buck with a 21" barreled Contender in 7-30 Waters bought the complete rifle from a guy on HuntingBC the year before buck was shot with a 14" barrel in 338JDJ #2 bought here on the EE it was a complete handgun I sold the restricted frame and installed the barrel onto a non-restricted frame year before that was a factory 23" barrel in 6.8SPC that I had shortened to 19 " for balance in 6.8SPC actually up until this year I have used Contenders every year for the last 11 years to take my bucks.

I have sold as many barrels as I have had over the years always a fun combo to play with swapping around barrels other barrels I have right now are 19" 204 Ruger, 21" 223, 21" 35 Rem, 21" 375 Win, 14" and 21" 375JDJ, 18" 10mm, 22" 45-70 and 24" Gonic 50 cal magnum muzzle loader barrels.
