Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Barrel Features The Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Barrel in .300 AAC Blackout swaps onto a compatible Encore frame in seconds letting the shooter change calibers without tools or a trip to the gunsmith. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid hunting conditions while the fluting reduces weight and helps the barrel shed heat faster during repeated shots. A 1:8 twist rate stabilizes the wide range of .300 Blackout bullet weights available from lightweight supersonic loads to heavier subsonic rounds favored for suppressed shooting. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle is ready to accept a suppressor or muzzle brake right away. Every barrel leaves the factory having been test fired at 100 yards so accuracy is verified before it ever reaches the shooter s hands. Because it is built specifically for the Encore ProHunter pistol frame it will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames so shooters should confirm compatibility before ordering. The stainless finish pairs well with the frame s own stainless hardware for a clean consistent look across the build. This barrel gives Encore ProHunter owners an affordable path to add a compact suppressor-ready .300 Blackout option to their single-frame system.
