I posted this tread in another forum, and didn't get many responses so I thought I would try it here.
I don't know if this common knowlege or not, but I was looking into buying an Encore awhile back and assumed that the rifle could be converted into a pistol and vice versa. At a local gun shop I was looking at a T/C Encore pistol in 308 and the guy behind the counter told me that they were not interchangable. I didn't know what to think, so I did a little searching on the internet and couldn't find any info that they were interchageable even on T/C's website it doen't mention it, or it's Encore commercail on the outdoor channel.
Anyway for Christmas I got a Encore muzzleloader. And at this time I thought I could only interchange rifle barrels with it.
Today on Cabelas web site I found the stocks and fore ends and it states in the description, change your Encore pistol into a rifle with the buttstock, forend and barrel.
Now, I'm confused again so I call T/C and they tell me that the frames are indeed interchangable.
OK, that's great and I'm happy now that I know that covert to a pistol if I want to.
My question is, why isn't it advertised this way? I would think it would be a good selling point. I hope I have a the wright info now, that the frames are interchangable, because if they are why isn't it in the decription of the rifle or in it's manual?
