Thompson Center Arms 8102R Encore 300 Out 15" Silver S/S Brl Pro Hun

The Thompson Center Encore 300 Blackout 15" stainless steel barrel gives you a dedicated upper for subsonic and supersonic shooting without buying a whole new rifle. If you already run an Encore platform, this Pro Hunter barrel swaps straight in with no gunsmithing—just drop it onto your frame and you're ready to work. Stainless construction shrugs off weather and corrosion, while the fluted profile keeps weight minimal without sacrificing rigidity, so you get a barrel that handles as well as it performs.

300 Blackout has carved out a serious niche in hunting and tactical circles. It runs subsonic loads through a suppressor with authority, cycles reliably in semi-auto platforms, and hits hard at close range—ideal for hunting thick cover or running drills at the range. This barrel gives you that capability on an Encore, one of the most versatile firearms platforms ever made. The 15-inch length keeps the overall package handy while still wringing useful velocity from a shorter action.

Thompson Center factory test-fires every Pro Hunter barrel at 100 yards to verify it groups before it ships. That's not marketing—it's a baseline accuracy promise. You're not guessing whether this barrel will shoot; it's already proven it will. If you hunt, work steel, or just like the idea of having a purpose-built 300 Blackout upper ready to go, this barrel opens that door affordably.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this barrel fit my Thompson Center rifle?

This barrel is designed for the Encore platform only. It will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames. If you own an Encore, it drops right on with no modifications required.

Is 300 Blackout good for hunting?

300 Blackout is effective for hunting at moderate range, especially when paired with subsonic ammunition and a suppressor for noise reduction. It's popular for hunting in thick cover where shots are close and power matters more than distance.

What's included with this barrel?

You receive the barrel assembly itself. Mounting to your Encore frame requires no additional gunsmithing or tools beyond what you'd normally use to swap barrels on that platform.

Has this barrel been tested?

Yes. Thompson Center factory test-fires every Pro Hunter barrel at 100 yards to verify it meets accuracy standards before shipment.
