Tc Bbl Encore 12Ga 24 Fo W/Tky Choke

The Thompson Center Encore 12-gauge shotgun barrel gives you the versatility that makes the Encore platform one of the most adaptable firearms ever built. Swap this 24-inch shotgun barrel onto your existing Encore frame and you've instantly converted your rifle or muzzleloader into a 12-gauge turkey or upland hunting rig. It's the kind of flexibility that lets you chase multiple game species without buying multiple guns—just change barrels and you're ready for a different hunt.

This barrel comes fitted with a turkey choke, so it's pre-tuned for tight patterns on gobblers right out of the box. The 3-inch chamber handles modern 12-gauge loads, and the blued finish delivers classic looks with solid corrosion resistance. The fiber-optic front sight gives you a bright, quick acquisition point in low-light conditions—crucial when you're in the woods before dawn or during that golden-hour turkey season window.

The 24-inch length strikes a balance between handling in brush and maintaining velocity downrange. Whether you're setting up for strutting birds or hunting pheasants and quail, this barrel gives you the performance tube the Encore system is known for. If you already own an Encore rifle or muzzleloader frame, this is a straightforward way to add shotgun capability to your arsenal without the investment of a whole new firearm.
