Thompson Center Encore Barrel Features The Thompson Center Encore Barrel is purpose built for the Encore switch barrel system giving shooters a straightforward way to add a dedicated .460 SW Magnum big-bore hunting barrel to an existing Encore frame. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up to repeated field use while the straight Encore contour at 0.997 keeps the barrel balanced and consistent with factory Encore dimensions. A 1-20 twist rate is matched to the heavier bullet weights common in .460 SW loads helping stabilize the projectile for accurate shot placement on big game. The Hunter grade glass bead finish provides a durable non-reflective surface that stands up to the elements without drawing unwanted attention in the field. The 11/16-24 muzzle thread arrives with a thread protector installed so the barrel is ready to mount a muzzle brake or ships clean for hunters who prefer no muzzle device. Forend spacing hardware using 10x32 dovetail locks is included to ensure proper fit and alignment with the Encore frame and forend. A companion base is included with the barrel simplifying the swap for owners adding a new caliber option to their Encore platform. Whether topped with an optic for long range shots or used with iron sights this barrel gives Encore owners a dedicated big-bore option for handgun hunting season.
