EKYhunter Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Anyone looked at a new Encore yet? Saw one on TV the other night. 28" fluted barrel, the hammer swivled so you didn't need a hammer spur, it had TC engraved on the receiver, and the stock/forend appeared to be some sort of tactile material like duratouch on Brownings or the XCR by Remington. It looked good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told nothing changed onthe frame but I was also told that the new barrels would be hard to get your hands on because of the demand ... cleaning these things is going to be a breeze to its gonna hurt Knights pocket book I think.

too_pointer Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Re: New Encore I don't know about the barrel, haven't looked into it that much. I do like the looks of the new stock !! I have 2 stocks, 2 barrels, 2 scopes, geez !!!! I can't put anything more on it LOL too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Re: New Encore Yeah the new barrels will fit the older frames. I wish that swiveling hammer could be added to my frame as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Re: New Encore I can handle not having the rotating hammer but I want that breech system on my muzzle loader barrel for sure ... that is gonna be sweet.

DannoBoone1 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Re: New Encore To each his own..........I like WOOD. Look at the length of that breech plug. Ya NEED a longer barrel to make up the difference! Some of us with the 10ML have modified our breech plugs to get the powder closer to the primer. There may very well be a need to clean this new Encore plug much more often, as is a problem with the 10ML plug. A few years ago, I got a 28" barrel for my Encore which did nicely for added combustion, therefore, more velocity with the same loads. T/C did likewise with the Omega. But the length of this new plug will negate most of the advantage of the 28" barrel in this "Pro Hunter" barrel. This ol' pup just can't get excited about it.

AJ Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Re: New Encore I don't know about the quarter turn breech plug. I can see the crud from Triple 7 just reaking havock with that thing. It is using rings in the nose to assist blow back but still, I am not sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Encore fires off the 777 pellets great, it couldn't clean easier than it does. I hope it does great though, it has some great features, if they work. I'll stay with my "ole" Encore LOL. I hope some buy it in here and let us know how it works, I will wait for real results. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ how do you think the AR15 does with blowback with the O rings in there ... anyhow thats where I heard they got the idea from ... the military rifles use almost the identical system in there breeches .. although I have never taken one apart to know ... just goin by what the TC rep told me lol ... anyhow I will let you know when I get it and tell you how it goes .. I personally like it .... just my 2 cents worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: New Encore Its not so much the blow back, its the nasty corrosive crap thats left behind from Triple 7 that has me concerned. Have you ever gotten a breechplug stuck in a barrel? I have had to use a breaker bar to get one out and another I could not get out even after Kroil and an impact wrench.
