Author Topic: Can one frame do it all??? (Read 579 times)

I have a Thompson 209x50 muzzleloader. I bought a rifle barrel for it and everything is great. Can this frame also be used for a pistol barrel (I understand the legality issue of registering the frame if I do so) But someone told me that the muzzleloader frame cannot be used for a pistol barrel. It does not make sense to me but I gotta ask . . . Is it true?

:eek: :?

Not considering the legal issues, all the frames are identical. If you buy a stripped used frame, you have no idea how T/C orginially sold it unless you contact them with the serial #.

One other thing, remember that the Encore and Contender/G2 are not interchangeable.

Ok, but can I physically put a pistol barrel on the frame that I bought as a muzzleloader?? Will every encore frame accept any encore barrel? :?

Thanks,

Long.

An Encore is an Encore (frame), so any barrel made for an Encore should work on your frame (any rimfire barrels need a rimfire adapter though).
