I hate how the quality of merchandise has significantly reduced in the last 10 years. Everything is disposable camera quality now, im a bowhunter and i've been shooting the same rig since '97(martin cougar) i think you would be hard pressed to find anything new that would last 13 years and still going strong.

When you say "screw's in the stock were small and loose, do you mean in the forend up front? Because that is exactly how the T/C Encore Pro Hunter is made and that gun is awesome. I called them today about the listing on their web page saying #11 cap's so I asked about musket's and they said no. Not recommended. So I asked what cap's they found were best during testing and they said use the CCI #11 in this gun. I will be getting one for sure.

I might have read your bracket sentence wrong. Are you saying the bracket is screwed on and then the forend is screwed onto that?

Just an update, I received my ML Vortek,but haven't had a chance to fire it yet. I did check out the gun barrell and noticed some residue inside. So I swabbed out the barrell multiple times and I keep coming up with a rusty brown color that has me concerned on wether the barrell some how got moister inside of it? Still researching it. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks..

Cosmoline would be my guess.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmoline

Cosmoline is the trade name for a generic class of rust preventatives, conforming to MIL-C-11796C Class 3, that are a brown colored wax-like mass

I was shooting my vortex's and had the whole barrel fall off right in my hand so i called traditions and had them send me the screws out to me and so that put me out for the early season  I think some one needs to get a email together and tell them how many people have had this same problem and tell them they need to fix this problem or they are going to lose a lot of service/costumers.  besides those 2 screws i have not had a problem and my neighbor has the same gun and has not had any problems with it but the gun does kick like a mule because of how light the gun is. I would recommend the gun just check the screws before you shoot it and maybe lock tight them.
