Quick Take-down Type Pin?
« on: April 06, 2012, 06:06:11 AM »
Wondering if there is such a pin to be had?
A pin that allows for quick take-down and reassembly of an Encore [ no tools required ], for back packing the gun in two pieces.
I'm new to Encores........... Thanks for your thoughts.

You can get quick release forend screws that turn out with a coin.  90 degree turn on the screws and the forearm is off, then just push out the hinge pin.  That is the quickest takedown of the Encore/Prohunter that I know of.

Thanks for the reply.
 I would like to carry the encore in two pieces in the back pack, and assemble when needed. Diddn't know that the pin dropped right out. Thought it needed to be hammered out.
My encore is enroute............

They don't drop right out. I have a little plastic (delrin) tool that is used to pop the takedown pins out of an AR that I use to push my Encore pin right out.

It is the one on the right.

You definitely do not want your pin to "drop right out", but it should also push out without a lot of effort.
