Tired of the recoil generated by the TC Encore 20 ga. slug barrel? I am!

First, I switched to a thumb-hole Flex-Tech stock, this significantly reduced the amount of muzzle jump, but the recoil from the slugs into your shoulder was still incredible.

My 20ga slug barrel really kicks with the 3″ federal barnes expanders, so I added some lead shot using RTV (room temperature vulcanization aka culk) 🙂 to the forend.

I used my wet finger to spread the RTV, which I used to cover/secure the #7 birdshot that I harvested from some cheap small-game loads.

The channels in the forearm make it easy to shape so that it’s nowhere near the barrel channel.

Again, without this weight, my 20ga slug barrel shooting the 3″ federal barnes expanders is AWFUL!

I didn’t take a pic of the butt stock, but I did the same thing underneath the grip cap.
