Thompson/Center Encore/Pro-Hunter 6mm ARC 26in Stainless Threaded Barrel

The Thompson/Center Encore/Pro-Hunter 6mm ARC 26-inch Stainless Threaded Barrel (T/C part no. 8278R) is a drop-in replacement barrel built for shooters who already own the Encore or Pro-Hunter single-shot action and want to add 6mm ARC to their lineup without buying a whole new gun. Thompson/Center built its interchangeable-barrel system around exactly this kind of quick caliber swap, and this barrel keeps that promise for the modern 6mm ARC cartridge. The stainless steel build resists corrosion in the field, and the threaded muzzle means a suppressor or muzzle device bolts straight on without a gunsmith visit. It’s a straightforward upgrade for hunters and long-range shooters who want more reach from their existing Encore frame.
