How to Choose a TC Encore Barrel
The versatility of the TC Encore platform starts with choosing the right barrel for your intended application. When comparing TC Encore and ProHunter barrels, consider your preferred caliber, typical shooting distance, barrel length, contour, rifling twist, finish, and the type of hunting or shooting you plan to do.
Choose the Right Caliber
Start with the game or shooting application you have in mind. The Encore platform offers barrel options ranging from smaller varmint and target calibers to straight-wall hunting cartridges, traditional centerfire rifle cartridges, rifled shotgun barrels, and muzzleloader configurations.
Consider Barrel Length
Barrel length affects overall handling, weight, balance, and velocity potential. A shorter barrel may offer a more compact configuration, while a longer barrel may be preferred for certain hunting and target applications.
Availabile Lengths: EABCO standard Encore barrel length is 26", as well as TC brand ProHunter barrels. TC brand Katahdin barrels are 20". TC brand pistol barrels are 15". If you prefer a different length, EABCO expert gunsmiths can Cut and re-crown your barrel to match your desired length, or add EABCO Barrel Threading.
A little piece of history... "Factory" or "original" Encore barrels were made to be 24" with a diameter of .750" and can still be ordered in our EABCO Custom Barrels. Forends that reference factory contour would fit these barrels.
Match Twist Rate to Your Bullet Selection
Rifling twist rate helps determine which bullet lengths and weights a barrel is designed to stabilize effectively. Review the individual barrel specifications and consider the ammunition or bullet weights you expect to use most often.
Select Features for Your Build
Depending on the model, TC Encore barrels are available with features such as fluting, threaded muzzles, stainless or blued finishes, sight configurations, and different contours. Compare individual product specifications to select the features that fit your intended build.
What Is a TC Encore Barrel?
A TC Encore barrel is designed for the Thompson/Center Encore family of single-shot firearms, allowing the platform to be configured for different calibers and shooting applications. By using compatible barrels and components, Encore owners can build configurations for hunting, target shooting, straight-wall cartridges, and other applications. Always verify the specifications and compatibility requirements for the individual barrel and firearm configuration before ordering.
What Is the difference in a TC Encore Katahdin Barrel?
A TC Encore Katahdin barrel is a 20" barrel in the same contour as the TC Encore ProHunter with a barrel diameter of .810" at the muzzle. The current production Katahdin barrels use the same forend as regular TC Encore ProHunter rifle barrels. **Note: Older Katahdin barrels before 2025 production were made in a wider contour and would likely require a specific Katahdin forend or custom channeling to fit. These were .865" at the muzzle.
