22 barrel for encore
« on: October 04, 2006, 01:53:16 PM »
Hey everyone, i was watching gun and ammo tv the other day and the guy was talking about the encore system.  He stated that you could get a 22 rimfire barrel all the way up to a 416.  My question is can you get a rimfire barrel for an encore rifle?  I was under the impression that you could not.

thanks

Not possible as far as I know. The Encore does not have the switchable ( center fire to rim fire) firing pin system that the Contender does. I'm afraid the TV host mispoke himself.

Nope, a .22 rimfire barrel has been in the works for some time now.  I suspect what was shown on the TV show was one of the pre-production models.  This .22 rimfire barrel will have an offset chamber/bore.  As far as I know, at this time it will be a single run of 500 barrels for a single wholesaler (JSC).  T/C may make it a production item, if they see a big enough market.  Get your orders in quick, and wait - mine has been in for about 2 months.

I believe On Target Technologies (OTT) makes a rimfire Encore barrel, and if I recall correctly, I saw some reference to a rimfire adaptor device from EABCO on their website.  Both OTT and EABCO have websites.

All this is news to me. First I've heard of it. I apologize for putting my foot in my mouth. ;)

there are .22 rimfire barrels for the encore by people like bullberry and MGM and probably others. You have to change the fireing pin-no big job.
