10mm T/C Encore barrel

[Geeman]

I just ordered two barrels for my Thompson Center Encore, one of which is a 10mm.  It is a custom 9" long barrel that I want to set up with a strain gauge for pressure testing loads.  It looks like its a 4 month wait.

The other is an 18" barrel in 416 Rigby with a muzzle brake.  I'm going to have fun trying to talk others into shooting the big boy, and to let some 500 S&W shooters know they don't shoot the worlds meanest pistol.  Sometimes you just have to let insanity have its way .

Sounds like some interesting projects!

The Encore is a chunk of a pistol.  The short barrel like this weighs around 5-1/2 pounds.  I currently have this .22LR barrel and a 30BR in 9".

I am keeping an eye open for a used 10mm barrel for my TC Contenders before I order a new one.  Over the years I have seen them, so I know they are out there.  I had a 30-30 barrel once and the memories of shooting that still reside in my brain.   My only Encore right now is a rifle in 30-06.  Oh yes, pictures.  I haven't taken one of my Encore yet.
