By simply removing the forend and pivot pin, you can change your Encore to a barrel chambered for a different rifle cartridge. Or, change to a muzzle loader or shotgun barrel. These barrels don't have to be individually fitted to your TC Encore frame either. Every Thompson Center Encore barrel fits on every Thompson Center Encore frame right off the shelf with no modifications. And they will match accuracy shot for shot with the best mass production fixed barrel rifles, too.

We at E. Arthur Brown Company became involved with

Thompson Center Arms back in the 1980's. Beginning with the TC Contender, our founder Eben Brown started shooting handgun metallic silhouette (IHMSA) with a 10" Thompson Center Contender pistol chambered for 357 Maximum. A love of single shots developed into a lifetime career. We had a fledgling mail order business selling accessories when the TC Contender inspired us to go into manufacturing our own single shot... the BF Ultimate Silhouette Falling Block Pistol.

The BF Pistol went on to eventually dominate the Interna-tional Championships of IHMSA Silhouette, year after year.
