    FSinNY: TC Encore 45-70 bbl stainless 24" round

    I bought this barrel from another member on here about a month ago. It shoots great and other than a small mark where the front sight was it's in great condition. The person who I bought if from said it was only shot about ten shots and put away. I put twenty shots through it and put it away...for good. Why am I selling? My shoulder simply can't take the recoil. I had an MRI the week I bought it, and the following week my doctor said I need surgery on my shoulder. I shot it on Monday of this week, and now I can hardly lift my arm. I have a torn rotator cuff, a large bone spur, tendonopathy, and arthritis in my shoulder. I saw the doc yesterday and he said "don't shoot it anymore, ever". I thought I got a good deal on it and I'm not looking to make any money on selling it. I paid two hundred for it and I'll sell it for the same price....$200 I put a scope base on it and ground down a ss screw to fill the front sight hole. Even with the red dot at 4moa I got it to group 2.1" at 100 yards with a very light Trapdoor load.

    I had a dealer who's "mouse gun" was an Encore in .375 H&H. He said he ought to sell it because he never had the nerve to shoot it.

    Bump.
    Note: I'd consider a trade on a smaller caliber Encore barrel if someone has one to trade. My price is TYD.
