After I put in the primer, if I dont "slam" the thing closed sometimes I cant get the hammer to pull back. Anyone ever had a problem with this? It has the quick out breech plug, and appears to be going in correctly...I dont know what might be going on. If I slam it closed, it's fine. Happened to me last year on a nice buck, couldnt get the hammer back. Any suggestions?
After you lock up the breech, check to make sure your hammer works.
I don't have a Encore and make no claims to understand your problem, but there must be some sort of lock up issue going on. Give Thompson Center a call and see what they say.

Primers are different length, go to a shorter primer. Chap

As long as the plug is "in" all the way, it is as Chap says.Find a primer that does not cause the issue. In the meantime, slam shut and verify the hammer is free.

10-4 I wasnt aware there were different length primers. I'll check on that. Yeah, in the meantime I just make sure the hammer will come back after putting the primer in. Man, last year I pulled up on a pretty massive buck. 8-10point I suppose. Learned pretty quick the hard way on that one. Other than that, that gun shoots like a rifle. Dropped a doe last year at 150, down for the count! First deer with it. Am pretty pleased. Thanks for the info.
My endeavor has done the same thing when i don't close the action firmly. As long as I make sure to close it with some stiff pressure I have no problems. Remember I am not talking about having to slam the action shut just firm pressure..

Right, just a firm snatch. Maybe slam was the wrong word, but you know what Im talking about now. A firm snatch will do it. Dont know why, but thats all it takes.
TC Encore Pro Hunter question??
