TC Encore questions

[dsunday]

This may be stupid to some of you but can some answer this....

If you have an encore centerfire rifle, how do you switch to a muzzle loader or shotgun?

I'm almost sure the muzzleloader would require a new forearm for the rod.

Thanks

You buy the barrel that you want and probably a new forearm. Takes about 10 minutes to switch. The scope stays with the barrel so you would have to figure out how to handle that. i.e. quick detach mounts or a different scope or optic. Very easy deal. Hope this helps some..

Rod comes with the barrel and forearm usually. If no forearm they all seem to have the rod with them


Do you have one?

No but was thinking about what it would take to go from inline muzzleloader to something for coyotes, maybe 22-250 instead of buying 2 guns

To change from a centerfire rifle to a muzzleloader on the Encore platform, you will need the barrel/ramrod and a new forearm. The forearm is typically sold separate from the barrel/ramrod. Just recently built another Encore so this is fresh in my mind. Hope this helps.

It’s easy to swap barrels. But... I would much rather have a bolt or semiauto rifle for coyotes than a single shot.

I have 2 encores now. One with the 20ga turkey barrel and another in smokeless muzzleloader (45-70 converted to a muzzleloader)

Each platform has a corresponding forearm. I have three, one for muzzleloader, one for 12 gauge and one for my .270. All are different. Not sure if 20 gauge barrel will fit 12 gauge forearm.

I use an Encore Pro Hunter with a .22-250 for coyotes. It is an absolute killer! I love it!
