Tc Bbl Encore 20Ga 24 Fo W/Tky Choke

The Thompson Center Encore 20-gauge barrel with turkey choke is a purpose-built shotgun barrel engineered for hunters who want specialized turkey-hunting performance from their existing Encore platform. By swapping this 24-inch blued barrel into your Encore receiver, you gain a dedicated shotgun setup tuned for close-range bird hunting without the cost of a second complete firearm. This 3-inch chamber barrel arrives ready to pattern, sighted in and configured with a turkey choke for tight shot strings at typical flushing and calling distances.

The Encore's barrel-swap design is one of its defining strengths—you can own a rifle, a shotgun, and a muzzleloader without owning three guns. This 20-gauge barrel adds shotgun versatility without taking up safe space. The 24-inch length is a working length in brush and open country alike, and the blued finish resists corrosion during the season. Double-trigger configuration means you'll manipulate the action the same way you do with your other Encore barrels, so your muscle memory stays consistent across caliber swaps.

Turkey hunting rewards tight patterns and clean kills. The integrated turkey choke on this barrel is preset to deliver that advantage—no need to source and test aftermarket chokes before opening day. Whether you're a committed turkey hunter building out an Encore arsenal or looking to add shotgun capability to an existing system, this barrel delivers the specificity modern turkey hunting demands without compromise.

Can I remove the turkey choke and use a different one?

The turkey choke comes integrated with this barrel. We recommend confirming installation details and any choke modification possibilities with Thompson Center directly if you need a non-turkey setup.
