Thompson Center ProHunter XT Barrel Features The Thompson Center ProHunter XT Barrel is a 28 stainless steel barrel built specifically to fit the Thompson Center Encore and Encore ProHunter platforms giving owners a direct factory-style replacement or upgrade option. Its fluted profile removes material along the barrel s length cutting down on weight without sacrificing the rigidity needed for consistent muzzleloader accuracy. A 1-in-24 twist rate is matched to .50 Caliber muzzleloader projectiles for stable accurate downrange performance. The Firestick ignition system built into the barrel streamlines loading and ignition compared to older percussion cap designs. Finished entirely in stainless steel the ProHunter XT Barrel resists corrosion from black powder fouling and the elements better than a blued carbon steel barrel would. The included muzzle tamer helps manage recoil and muzzle rise making repeat shots more manageable in hunting situations where follow-up shots matter. Because it is a direct fit for the Encore and Encore ProHunter action swapping barrels lets a single frame serve multiple calibers or configurations. The Thompson Center ProHunter XT Barrel is available for sale at GrabAGun for muzzleloader hunters who want a durable fluted stainless barrel on their Encore platform.
