Acquired several T/C barrels in the contents of a gun enthusiast’s estate cleanout… Please be sure to check my other listings if you are interested in other caliber T/C barrels. This gentleman had some good ones! EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND Thompson Center Custom Shop Encore. 30 Carbine 25 Ported Barrel… Comes with silver scope base mount… Barrel comes EXACTLY as shown in photos. Nothing more included than what is shown. Condition – Used / Pre-Owned… Bore & rifling looks bright & shiny. Exterior of barrel is pretty clean as well… Few scratches/scuffs along with some light spots/specks of corrosion that may even clean up – nothing overly glaring by any means. Some normal wear from age & original use is to be expected here… Especially along edges & underside mounting portion of barrel where barrel would contact forend. I have not made much of an effort to clean anything up here… Please view all listing photos and be sure to utilize the zoom feature as these are truly the best description of the item(s) and the overall condition.
