Well I did it, ordered a 5.7x28 Encore barrel from MGM during their sale. Good delivery and Great workmanship. They said 4-6 weeks and it arrive during the 6th week as promised. Ordered another set of Georgia Jim stocks for the Encore to go with it just need to do a little fitting of the barrel channel to get the barrel free floated.
Picked up 2 boxes of factory loaded ammo for it for a range trip, will be interested in seeing the accuracy of this round as compared to the other rounds I regularly shoot. The round falls between the 22WRM and the 22K-Hornet. FNH USA is loading them with 40gr Hornady V-Max bullets.
The barrel is Stainless Steel 14inches in length full bull with a 1-12 twist. I had them include one of their Weaver style scope bases.
I ordered a hanger bar from Straton Customs and purchased a set of Weaver Quad Lock Rings to mount a Burris 10x IER scope I had laying around
And got my Georgia Jims this week, as I said before I just need to open the barrel channel a little bit to make sure the barrel isn't touching the wood then it'll be off to the range for a little shooting
All in all, I'm very happy with the package. Now to see how accurate it is
