Encore Forearms Question
« on: January 01, 2007, 11:34:43 AM »
I am looking for some help inunderstanding forearm choices for the Encore. i have a walnut/blued Encore with a .50 cal muzzloader barrel. I have a walnut rifle forearm. I am looking to add a centerfire rifle barrel, caliber yet to be determined. Will my forearm fit both 24" standard and 26" heavy barrels? If the rifle forearm will not fit the heavy barrels, will my muzzleloader forearm fit the heavy barrels?
Thanks,
Will

The rifle forearm will fit both barrels standard and heavy, but T/C also makes a forearm for the heavy barrels. You should use washers under the forearm when using the heavy barrels. Help in floating the barrel.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

Your M/L barrel is channled for the ram rod and would not look right on a center fire rifle barrel.
