What’s Included
- Thompson Center Encore 12 Gauge 3" fully rifled barrel assembly (steel, polished blued)
- Encore-style underlug and extractor installed
- Wood fore-end
Built for the Thompson/Center Encore platform, this barrel assembly uses the Encore-style underlug and factory extractor for proper fit on Encore frames. It is a straightforward way to add a 12 gauge, rifled option to an existing Encore setup.
The fully rifled bore is designed into a steel barrel with a polished blued finish. There are no iron sights installed, and the barrel is drilled and tapped to accept scope bases, allowing the user to set up optics as desired.
The included wood fore-end complements the blued steel and provides a secure mating surface to the barrel and frame. It is factory-fitted for the Encore pattern, aligning with the break-action, single-shot design of the platform.
Factory markings include the Encore logo and rollmark: "THOMPSON / CENTER ROCHESTER, NH, USA 12 Gauge 3" Rifled". Origin is the USA, consistent with Thompson Center’s Encore production.
