454 Casull barrel. need help.
« on: March 06, 2013, 06:55:09 AM »
Hi all,
I just traded and got a Encore  454 Casull 10'' barrel.  On the barrel it has T/C Encore 454 Casull on it.  T/C made a 15'' and a 12".  Did T/C make a 10''  may be a custom shop barrel.  The guy I got the barrel from can't remember.  dose Any one know , thank you for your help.

T/C made 10" barrels the first year the encore came out, then went to 12" I believe.

Thank you....Boarmountain,
I called T/C,  the guy told me Encore came out in 1997.  I told him about my 10'' barrel and he told me it may be a
custom shop barrel, T/C did not make a 10'' factory barrel only 12'' and 15''.  The custom shop is shutdown not running so he
couldn't ask them.

The guy from T/C is mistaken. They did make 10" barrels the first year or two. He may be a S&W employee and not a "true" T/C employee. On Ed's contenders under factory encore barrels he lists 10" barrels. He doesn't have any right now, but it's there. I have seen quite a few 10" barrels sell on ebay also over the years.
