Yes, your going to need a new forearm for the rifle barrels. It will come with the screws, The ML forearm fits only ML's.

Make sure to get the forearm that fits your barrel contour. I think that there are "heavy" and "tapered" barrels for the Encore, so you might need check this. However, I'm not as familiar with the Encore Rifles, so someone else might chime in here? Make sure first.

You can fire both of your barrels without the forearm, just make sure not to let the hing pin fall out, and make sure it stays seated correctly in the frame.

If you buy a Pro-Hunter forend it will fit the heavy barrel and tapered barrel with a gap around it.

Typical factory barrel contours are as follows:

24" tapered contour usually has iron sights.
26" heavy contour has no iron sights.
28" Pro-Hunter (heavy contour) has no iron sights and is fluted to lighten up and stiffen the barrel.
