Why doesn't TC....
...make BP barrels in different calibers for the Encore?
AFAIK, the only Encore BP caliber is .50 in a fast twist with shallow rifling. Why not .54, .58, .32, and even shotgun such as they made for the old TC System 1?
Admittedly, I don't know much about Encores; don't own one. Maybe the barrel diameter is too small for anything bigger than .50. Maybe the 209 ignition doesn't work well with other calibers and going to #11 caps isn't an option.
I do have a couple of System 1s, however, with multiple barrels for each....got a full set and then some, actually. Those things are good shooters, whatever the caliber. Get tired of .50 and you can move to the .58, the .54or the .32 for your fun; or try busting clay pigeons with the 12 gauge. The .32 is a big favorite of mine in the System 1and deadly on squirrels. Compared to the Encore, however, barrel changing with the System 1 is a bit of a chore, as is action cleanup afterwards.
It seems that TC, the master of barrel swapping options, is missing the boat here. Heck, they could sellbarrels in different rifling twists and depths as well as calibers. Can any of you Encore gurus clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance.
