What is Encore Weathershield Rifle frame?
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:09:10 PM »
Are there any differences with an Encore Weathershield Rifle frame and a normal SS Encore frame?

I am pretty sure the weathershield coated frames and barrels are not Stainless steel. I believe the weathershield coating is applied to regular moly steel. As far as everything fitting and interchanging with other finishes shouldn't be any problems there. The weathershield items are cheaper than the stainless steel items.

I just brought home a Encore Pro Hunter with the weather shield.
From what I see it is a new and improved version of the stainless version. Marketing probably.....
It sure is purty though!

My father has a omega with the weather shield coating on it and I am not impressed with it. The coating has came off in a couple of places with just normal use and to me isn't as durable as the stainless. The metal underneath is visible which would make me think would rust quicker than stainless or blued.  As far as improved and better than stainless well if it was they would be charging more for the weathershield than the stainless version. Of course this is my opinion.  To me you have a blued gun with a coating to look like stainless.
