TC Encore Pro Hunter muzzleloader???
« on: April 16, 2012, 03:41:31 PM »
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

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

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...

Great info, started looking into them. Sportsmans Guide looks like the place to buy them.

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
