Pro Hunter XT muzzleloader to pistol?

[trickrick]

I just got my new TC Encore Pro Hunter home and attached to the forearm there is a statement that says, converts to rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader. It does not say anything about converting to a pistol.
From all of the research I have done on here over the last few days, I thought I understood that I could convert to anything on the Encore platform?
Am I correct?
I know the concerns over the handgun conversion, but am I able to convert?
Thanks in advance for your help. Now, i just need to figure out what caliber???

A encore (or pro hunter) frame is a frame. In other words a pistol frame a rifle frame or muzzle loading or shotgun frame is a frame. The frame is modular and will accept any of the barrels stocks or pistol grips. the difference is the legality of changing a rifle frame into a pistol. This has been discussed many times and there is a sticky attached to the top of the T/C handgun forum.

Of course I thought about it after posting and decided to add T/C makes the Pro Hunter FX muzzle loader which is a fixed non switch barrel muzzle loader only that looks like a regular pro hunter.

I would say no you cannot convert it into a pistol regardless if the components fit for not.
 
It was bought as a long gun and must stay a long gun in my eyes.
