TC Encore Pro Hunter muzzleloader???

[TeacherMan]

Question... I got the TC Pro Hunter this year and I was thinking of getting the muzzleloader barrel for it. Can I get it so it takes a number 11 cap? I've been out of the state for a couple years but I'm assuming you still can't use a 209 primer? Even if you can get it to use a #11 what about the fact the cap would be covered? Is there a way to make the Pro Hunter legal in WA?

If not what would a good priced inline WA legal muzzleloader be? I've just been looking at the Westside BT seasons and down in the area I'm moving it looks like this would be a good way to do it.

thanks

That is not a TC option....

A machinist might be able to make the conversion for you but it would be a job...

I would highyl suggest a Knight DISC Extreme with a Western Kit installed + you could put the 209 assembly back in when you could use it.

Might look at these threads...

I think Bass Pro also is has them for sale...  Wholesale Sports in Washington also has Knights but they only have the Big Horn.

Here is another thread....

Looking into them I think I'm starting to really like the Bighorn. $100 cheaper and it will more than do the job. Ordering from Knight looks like an easy way to do it aswell.

thanks!

Now remember - I am totally biased - but I think the DISC is far more versitile with added features that make it worth the xtra $$ - but I hunt all year with a ML.

Still looking for a Knight Disc but I put the word out on another forum and a guy emailed me back this:

"TMAN, I have a khight disc that uses 209 shotgun primers. It has a 50 cal 22" stainless barrel with a black composition stock and is a bolt action I hAVE NO IDEA WHAT MODEL IT IS. iF you can help me identify it as to what you want we can talk $.I bought it new 15 0r so years ago.Any interest let me know"

Any idea what model he is talking about and the value? Could I change it to a #11 cap?

thanks

It is probably a Knight Original DISC...



It will probably come ready to shoot shotgun primers that you install in an Orange plastic jacket, and they also made a plastic jacket that you could install a #11 in - but it would not be legal for the northwest as the cap is not exposed.

To make the conversion from the Orange jackets to #11 or Musket that you could use in Washington you would have to purchase a Western Kit from Knight, remove the firing pin assembly from the the old bolt and install in the new Western Bolt with a the new breech plug.

The stock is also kinda odd... it is great for open sights but to low for a scope which shouldn't be a problem.

Here is another one listed on Gun Broker..

The Original DISC was the fore runner to the Knight DISC Extreme and Elite
