The Thompson/Center Encore's whole appeal is that one frame can become many guns, and this is a 20 gauge shotgun barrel for that system. It features a 26-inch blued, fluted, fully rifled barrel with a 3-inch chamber, purpose-built for sabot slugs.

A rifled barrel is what turns a shotgun into a legitimate 150-yard deer gun in slug-only zones, stabilizing modern sabot ammunition to a level smoothbores cannot approach. Swap it onto an Encore frame in about a minute and the same receiver you hunt with becomes a slug rifle.
