AFAIK, yes.
My Son has a .300 Winchester Mag Encore rifle, onto which he dropped the Encore .50 muzzleloading rifle barrel w/o fitting or other issues.
I see you're not in the US at present, but if you return to the US it's illegal here (under US Federal Law) to mount a pistol barrel on the Encore frame, unless the frame left the factory as a handgun.

Thank you for that information.
So I recon the safe route is to use our Contenders for pistols and the Encore for rifle barrels.

I bought my Encore Frame as a pistol so I could go both ways.
I was under the impression that T/C registered all encore frames as pistols. It would be worth a call to verify.

Contenders make great rifles too!

IIRC you cannot interchange forends on Encores and ML bbls.

TC makes two versions of the Encore. One in muzzleloader only that does not require an FFL and these frames only take the ML barrel unique to this frame. The other is the standard Encore that will take the standard rifle, pistol and muzzleloader barrels.

With all the great looks, quality and accuracy made popular by the Encore® Pro Hunter XT™, the Pro Hunter FX is a fixed barrel (non-interchangeable) muzzleloader you can trust.

The Encore Pro Hunter System can quickly be configured as a muzzleloader, centerfire rifle or a shotgun. You’re only two minutes and two screws from adapting to nature’s challenges and opportunities. A pistol version is also available and can be tailored to suit your hunt.

I am not sure if the ATF has changed their policy or not but they published a letter years ago that basically said it is ok to interchange rifle and pistol barrels on the same frame as long as you start with a bare frame. I have the letter someplace and will try to confirm if it is still valid or not. This was the result of a court case.
Here is the link I found: www.atf.gov/file/55526/download. I will contact atf to make sure it is still valid as I have swapped from one to the other before.
