Finally received my barrel from MGM to complete my shorty Encore build. A Lot of guys have probably seen the hobbit rifle build thread by @SLDMTN and it peaked my interest. A lot of my hunting is hardwoods that does not require long shots and this would be perfect for a woods gun. Pair that with the TMKs and this rifle will be very handy. I have young kids that can't shoot yet, but this will be the perfect little gun to get started on when they're ready. I foresee a lot of fun with this little gun. I'll add on to this thread after a range report.
