Default HELP...Changing Encore barrel

This is probably a stupid question...but I have 50 cal Encore Muzzleloader and I now thinking about getting a new barrel for it.

I have seen a few online I want to get, but I want to make sure I get everything I need to mount. I figure I will have to get a new forearm since it looks like the one I have is specifically made for a muzzleloader (space for ramrod)

Also, the pillars that come off my muzzleloader barrel that the forearmscrews into does not seem to be in pics of the barrel I am getting. Do I have to buy pillars for the barrelo to mount to?

I appreciate any help or tips

Default RE: HELP...Changing Encore barrel

It's a piece of cake. Take the forearm off, open the action, remove the pin, slap the new barrel on, put the pin back in and put your rifle forearm on and your done! I have a few barrels for mine and you'll probably get to where you can do it injust a couple minutes. And yes, you do have to buy a new forearm. There will be no "pillars" on the rifle barrel, those are simply on there to accomadate the space needed for the ram rod. The forearm screws directly into the rifle barrels.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. I will warn you, the Encore system is addicting! Iprimise once you've bought one barrel you will want another one!

Enjoy.
