Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Encore aution score

Just won this:

Stainless Thompson Center Encore frame manufactured by Smith & Wesson with FlexTech polymer stock set. Currently fitted with a 28” matte finished fluted Pro Hunter barrel chambered for .243. As this is a modular weapon system, barrels, and other components are easily interchangeable. The rifle is accompanied by a blued 24” .308 barrel in the original plastic packaging, a fluted Weathershield finished 26” .25-06 with camo forend, and a camo coated 24” 12 gauge shotgun barrel with screw in choke tube, camo forend, and sight mounting rail. CONDITION: Very good. Receiver finish excellent. Stocks show light use with minor scuffs and some slight disintegration of butt pad. All barrels show some light use with very good bores and a few scattered marks. BAS Accessories: 3 Extra Barrels Barrel Length: (A) 28" (B) 26" (C) 24" (D) Caliber/Bore: (A) .243 (B) .25-06, (C) .308 (D) 12 GA

Bought the whole pile to get the rifle in 243 which will become a 243 AI.

Everything else will show up here on the Classifieds once I get it and can evaluate conditiion.

Nice package. Make sure your mouthpiece is firmly in place when you shoot that 12 gauge. You should be able to find buyers for those items not kept which will decrease your purchase price.
Will you cut down the 243 barrel when you work the chamber?

Thanks. Won't be shooting any of them except the 243.
They'll all be sold.

Cannot set the bbl back on an encore so you have to be VERY careful when you AI.

Did a 280 a few years ago, worked fine and a no-go would not close.

Even if headspace is off a RCH, it's immaterial as I use bushing and bump dies and there is no commercial 243 AI ammo available.

I fireform using a false shoulder and the Zeglin method.

Once throat is toast I'll make it a 6mm-06 AI.
