The .22 ARC is one of the most talked-about small-bore cartridges to come along in years, and Thompson/Center put it on their most versatile platform. This 15-inch fluted stainless barrel drops onto any Encore ProHunter pistol frame and gives you a compact, hard-hitting single shot built around Hornady's Advanced Rifle Cartridge. The .22 ARC was designed to deliver .22-250 style performance from a much smaller case, sending high-BC .224 bullets flat and fast for varmints, predators, and target work. Getting that kind of reach out of a handgun-length barrel is exactly why this setup turns heads at the range.
Stainless steel handles the weather better than blued, so it holds up to sweaty range days and damp field conditions without much fuss. The fluting sheds a little weight and helps the barrel shed heat between strings, which matters when you're doing load development or knocking down a prairie dog town. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2-28, so you can run a suppressor or muzzle brake right out of the box, and it ships with a thread protector to keep those threads clean when you're running bare.
There are no iron sights on this one, which is the norm for a barrel meant to wear glass. It's drilled and tapped from the factory, so mounting a scope base and a good handgun or extended-eye-relief optic is straightforward. One of the best things about the Encore system is how easy it is to switch barrels. Pop the hinge pin, swap the barrel and matching forend, and you've got a whole different chambering on the same frame. If you already own an Encore pistol frame, this is a clean way to add a modern long-range .22 to the collection without buying a whole new gun.
Between the accuracy potential of the .22 ARC and the proven Encore break-action, this barrel makes a great varmint and target rig for anyone who likes reaching out there with a single shot.
It's built for Thompson/Center Encore ProHunter pistol frames and drops onto the frame using the standard hinge pin. If you already run an Encore pistol frame, this barrel bolts right in after you pop the pin and fit the matching pistol forend. Keep in mind you'll want the correct forend to match the barrel contour.
No, this barrel ships without iron sights, which is standard for a barrel meant to wear an optic. It comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount a scope base and add a handgun or extended-eye-relief scope. That setup is the way most folks get the most out of the .22 ARC's reach.
Yes, the muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, which is a common pattern for .22 caliber cans and brakes. It ships with a thread protector to keep the threads clean when you're shooting without a muzzle device. Just confirm your device is rated for the .22 ARC's velocity and pressure.
The .22 ARC was designed to push high-BC .224 bullets flat and fast, making it a strong choice for varmints, predators, and target shooting. A 15-inch barrel won't reach full rifle velocity, but the cartridge is efficient and still shoots impressively flat for a handgun-length setup. It's a fun, accurate rig for anyone who likes stretching a single shot out to distance.
