The SSK Encore Barrel in .30-30 Winchester (SSK Firearms part no. E9040) is an 18-inch stainless drop-in barrel built for the Thompson/Center Encore platform, giving single-shot shooters a fast way to add a proven lever-gun caliber to their break-action frame. SSK Firearms has built custom Encore and Contender barrels for decades, and this one ships complete with a mounting base so you’re ready to add rings and a scope. The muzzle comes pre-threaded 5/8×24 with a thread protector installed, so it’s ready to accept a muzzle device or suppressor mount right out of the box. A straight, non-fluted stainless contour keeps the barrel simple, rigid, and easy to maintain in the field or at the bench.
