Default Contender schematic

Anyone have a copy or a link to a contender schematic.
Took one apart, about a month or so ago. Put all the pieces back togethe tonight. Yet we don't have contact with the hammer when it drop against the firing pin.
I think I know which piece is reversed. But id like to see a layout of it. To verify what it is prior to opening it back up.

The action, the guts of the thing.
Not a barrel or stock placement.

Figured a small clarification was needed.

Thanks for the info. Better than what I was finding. That YouTube clip is short and limiting to what I was looking for. Found that one prior to posting last night. Thanks though.

I do have one small caliber to place on the action.

i bought it as the second owner. It's a bullberry heavy barrel with a muzzle brake on it. 15.5" LOUD as can be. it's got a piercing sound. Those around better be wearing muffs.
I've often thought perhaps some one on a range that is being a putz. To shoot it on the bench near theirs. But then I would be the putz in the end.
