Well, just when I had my armory in order...An Encore SS 24" new, no box came home with me from the Wasilla AK gun show.
I have owned at least 50 Contender barrels, a half dozen frames (three TCRs) but new to these (ugly) guns.
In the early eighties, I worked for Dennis Bellm when he had PO Ackley Rifle Barrels. My first T/C that was not black powder was a Fireball.
In a fit of vanity, I traded off all the blue and rimless Contender barrels. SS is the option when you have salt water on three sides of you! I mostly shoot 30/40 and 25/20.
Now if I can just find/order a 405 or 444 barrel, all will be well in my world.
Best wishes, Bill

Welcome AlaskaBill
I am sure that you will have many chances to enrich your holdings of Encores and Contenders. They just seem to materailize around here. Be warned hold on to your wallet for it will have a way of slimming down. Welcome to the forum and enjoy. God bless.
