What Forend for Heavy Barrels?
« on: December 21, 2005, 04:11:04 AM »
Posted before, maybe title too generic? Sorry...learning the ropes here.

I have an Encore .50 cal muzzleloader coming in stainless/hardwoods. I want to add some Custom Shop 20" barrels. My question: If I order the heavy barrels, what forend will I use? Will the muzzleloader forend fit? Assume the standard forend won't fit due to large barrel diameter? Want to keep the forend Hardwoods...thanks in advance for your help.

Also, is there any other source for custom made barrels that is readily available? Anyone know the turnaround time at TC?

arrowheadtroutm, no the muzzloader forend will not work.  You want TC #7701 composite forend in Realtree Hardwoods.  This fits both 24" standard weight AND 26" heavy weight barrels.

If your looking for a bull barrel forend just buy a heavy barrel forend and open it up.
I bought a bull barrel forend from foxridge and it was a piece of crap sent it back and they sent me another piece of crap sent it back and made my own.
