The ProHunter frame is just an Encore frame fancied up with some engraving and the swing hammer. The ProHunter barrels are longer (28") than the "standard" Encore barrels, but the ProHunter and Encore barrels are interchangeable. Oh...and the ProHunter barrels have the fluteing.

The Contender and G-2 barrels wont fit the Encore\ProHunter frames and vice-versa. Stocks and forarms won't swap between Encore's and Contenders\G-2's. I'm a bit "fuzzy" on the forarms between Encore's and ProHunters....but i don't think you can swap 'em.

I believe you can swap pro hunter and standard encore forearms.
The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind

If you have a friend that has one,ask to shoot it at the range! Then you won't be setting on the fence,as long ;D! I done as Redhawk1 said,I got the Pro Hunter ML first,then recently purchased the .223 barrel,rings,base,forearm (it's different than the ML forearm). The .223 barrel is showing me it shoots as good,(or better) than any small bore rifle I own). Another selling feature is,you can assemble another rifle,cheaper than going out and buying another complete rifle. This may,(or may not) be a selling point with the wife! 8) I learned this,FROM my wife. Last week she saved US, $200.00 by buying a $500.00 coat on sale for $300.00! It's only fair that YOU , should try to help out,by buying barrels,mounts,rings,scopes,ect. that are on sale,saving you BOTH even more money! ;D Before long you will be saving more money than her (if your real fast) which leads to having more money and,buying more barrels(remember,it's saving more money, for BOTH of you!) Then the snow/ball effect will kick in,and you can buy about anything you want,from ALL the money YOU saved,BOTH of you, buying barrels,and stuff! ;D Ron

If its a Pro Hunter ML then it should have already had the speed breach. Did you lose it?
