T/C Encore Info.

[scsims]

I don't know if this common knowlege or not, but I was looking into buying an Encore awhile back and assumed that the rifle could be converted into a pistol and vice versa. At a local gun shop I was looking at a T/C Encore pistol in 308 and the guy behind the counter told me that they were not interchangable. I didn't know what to think, so I did a little searching on the internet and couldn't find any info that they were interchageable even on T/C's website it doen't mention it, or it's Encore commercail on the outdoor channel.

Anyway for Christmas I got a Encore muzzleloader. And at this time I thought I could only interchange rifle barrels with it.

Today on Cabelas web site I found the stocks and fore ends and it states in the description, change your Encore pistol into a rifle with the buttstock, forend and barrel.

Now, I'm confused again so I call T/C and they tell me that the frames are indeed interchangable.

OK, that's great and I'm happy now that I know that covert to a pistol if I want to.

My question is, why isn't it advertised this way? I would think it would be a good selling point. I hope I have a the wright info now, that the frames are interchangable, because if they are why isn't it in the decription of the rifle or in it's manual?

Yes you can buy a pistol barrel for the Encore.My friend and I went to Paducah Shooters Supply and he bought a Encore in 50 cal MZ, pistol barrel in 7mm-08, the stock for the pistol and two scopes. I don't know why the guy told you that unless he was thinking about a different gun.

I can't remember the name of the web sites but I found two GREAT sites on Enocres and the custom work they can do with them. Do a search on the web and try to find them.
