I know that the NEF Huntsman muzzle loader frame was/is different from the smokeless rifle frame but what about the T/C Encore muzzle loader? I have a big gun show coming up in a few weeks and there us normally a guy there that has a lot of T/C single shot pistol and barrels for sale. I'd be really interested in an Encore but I can use a Contender for my 357 Maximum project. As a general rule the 357's don't bring as much $ as the larger calibers but I have a gunsmith with a Max reamer. In a 14" barrel I would like to have a 360 Remington Buck Hammer but it's a new caliber and I don't know if a rental is available yet.
