First I have an encore and love it.
Was at the bait shop yesterday and the owner was telling me that a while back a guy bought an Encore 209x50,went out to shoot it and it wouldn't fire.brought it back and found out it didn't have a fireing pin in it.Checked others to get a firing pin and none of the ones he had had a firing pin in them either.T/C sent them firing pins for them and he had to get someone to install them.
Now days I guess good help is hard to find,doesn't seem like they have final inspection before they send them out.
No wonder they have a hard time answering e-mail,don't guess anyone is there.
I bet those weren't dead on out of the box????

That's the new &quot;ultimate safety&quot; feature, Herman. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Yep, I think T/C has sort of lost the bubble on some aspects of their QC. And, how about those 209x45 barrels?

No longer able to answer emails - I sent three emails to T/C BEFORE they made that announcement and have received no answer. Seems a good way to help silence the crowd. Of course, all you ever got before was a very slightly altered canned response from T.P. .

No wonder I don't get any answers from them,didn't know they quit e-mailing.I guess they are getting like all the other manufactors after they get your hard earned money,to hell with you.When I grew up people would bust their ass to help you,not so now days.just go to wally world or K-mart and ask for some help,that is if you can find anyone to ask.No wonder K-mart is going under.
I have and have had other T?C muzzleloaders,have written them several times about the 209x45 being a piece of crap,they have never sugested to send it to them to see why it wouldn't shoot.They told me last year that they were experimenting with a different twist rate for it this year they can't even answer a simple question( did the twist change or not).I would just go ahead and send it to them but they would either send it back saying that there was nothing wrong with it or send a new one with the same problem.
I know one fellow that sent his back and they told him there was nothing wrong with it,He told them he didn't want it back,if they were so proud of it to hang it on their wall.

If you send the gun back to them with a note, I bet they will make it right.

I got my encore over a year ago and had some questions on it that I sent to T/C I recieved a part and reply within a few days. I have had good luck with them I may be the exception I am not sure but was pleased at there responce.

I am going to wait and see if they change the twist rate first.
According to the fellow at pression bullets they sent him a protype with 1:28 twist and they told me last year that they were working on a different twist.

Please do let us know. I'm looking at a deal on a blue/wood .50 caliber 209x50 with Leupold QR base and rings, <font size=1>Tasco...</font id=size1>..<font size=2>6X scope, and all the extras the guy has for the rifle for 470 delivered. Seem like a good deal to you, Herman?</font id=size2>

herman

sounds like a good deal to me,I gave 479 + tax when I bought mine with out scope bases and rings and any extras,I think you will really like the 50 cal.I do mine.
Haven't heard from T/C will post when I find out anything.
