Thompson/Center Encore Shotgun Barrel 20 Gauge - SKU: 6060R - UPC: 810180300483
Product Description
The Thompson/Center Arms Encore 20 Gauge Shotgun Barrel (6060R) is an authentic factory OEM accessory barrel engineered specifically for the modular T/C Encore and Encore Pro Hunter break-action firearm system. Chambered for 3-inch 20-gauge shotgun shells, this 26-inch smoothbore barrel allows hunters and sport shooters to quickly convert their existing Encore frame into a lightweight, highly versatile field shotgun.
Precision-crafted from high-strength steel with a traditional deep blued finish, the 6060R barrel features a ventilated sight rib topped with a bright front bead sight for rapid target acquisition on upland game, waterfowl, or clay targets. The barrel accepts standard Rem-Choke or T/C screw-in choke tubes, giving shooters full control over pattern density and spread across various hunting disciplines.
Factory-drilled and tapped to accept optics mounts, the Thompson/Center 6060R 20-gauge barrel provides rock-solid lockup, crisp extraction, and seamless interchangeability across all single-shot T/C Encore receiver frames, making it an essential addition for modular hunting staging.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct fit for all standard Thompson/Center Encore and Encore Pro Hunter receiver frames. Requires a T/C Encore shotgun forend for proper installation.
- Verify host T/C Encore frame is completely clear, hammer uncocked, and action open.
- Align the 6060R 20-gauge barrel lug with the frame hinge pin channel and insert the frame hinge pin until fully seated.
- Attach compatible T/C Encore shotgun forend to the underside barrel mounting lugs and tighten forend screws to 15-18 in-lbs.
- Confirm screw-in choke tube is properly seated and torqued using a choke tube wrench prior to loading.
- Test break-action mechanism and extractor function with an empty dummy shell before field staging.
