Hanger bars for Bullberry foreend
« on: March 05, 2010, 08:12:37 AM »
Does anyone sell a screw on hanger bar that will fit a Bullberry foreend.  Bullberry want me to send in the standard Encore barrel and they will dovetail their hanger bar into it.

Thanks
Rob

You can try and check with Stratton Hanger bars.  I think that the hole spacing is a little different though.  Those dovetail posts that Bb uses are great for Tenders because they already have them but a pain for Encore's.
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.

Bullberry barrels use the same mounting as the contender barrels. the nuts are dove tailed into the barrel. He needs your barrel to make the dovetails and install the mountng nuts.

So, would a standard G2 Contender foreend work on an Encore with the Bb modified barrel if the hanger was taken off?

Bullberry Hanger bar dovetail spacing is 3 1/4 inches center to center
I think it's an 8-40 thread
Hope that helps

What I was wondering is, apart from the hole spacing, are G2 and Encore foreends interchangeable?  Same barrel channel, same width between the ears, etc.

Definitely not. Barrel channel on a 'tender is .810-.820" on  an Encore it is just over 1.00". Not sure about the hole spacing but I doubt its the same either.
