Product Description
The Thompson/Center Arms Encore Pro Hunter Muzzleloader Forend in Walnut (3140R) is a factory original OEM wood furniture upgrade engineered specifically for T/C Encore and Encore Pro Hunter muzzleloader barrels. Crafted from select American Walnut with a rich satin finish, this forend combines traditional aesthetic elegance with precision factory inletting for the modular Encore break-action system.
Designed to fit standard T/C Encore muzzleloader barrel contours (including 26-inch and 28-inch configurations), the 3140R features contoured gripping surfaces for a comfortable, balanced hold in the field. The solid hardwood construction offers rigid barrel support to help maintain consistent point-of-impact during recoil cycles.
Equipped with a factory-installed front sling swivel stud for rapid sling mounting or shooting bipod attachment, the Thompson/Center 3140R Walnut Muzzleloader Forend is a essential replacement or custom upgrade for hunters looking to outfit their modular Encore rifle with classic wood furniture.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct factory OEM fit for Thompson/Center Encore and Encore Pro Hunter muzzleloader barrels. Does NOT fit standard centerfire rifle or shotgun barrel contours.
- Verify host T/C Encore firearm is completely clear, action broken open, primer/cap removed, and barrel channel visually confirmed unloaded.
- Align the 3140R walnut forend along the underside mounting channel of the installed Encore muzzleloader barrel.
- Insert the forend mounting screws through the wood pillar channels into the barrel forend lug posts.
- Torque mounting screws evenly to 15–18 in-lbs using a properly fitted driver bit to prevent cracking the natural wood grain or overtightening.
- Attach sling or bipod to the integrated front swivel stud and perform a quick security check before field staging.
