SELLING 24" MGM Encore barrel - 6.5 Grendel

[HandgunHTR]

I hate to do this, but I have too many other Encore barrels, plus a Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel that just got a new chassis, so this hasn't been out in over 2 years.

I purchased this used from Specialty Pistols about 10 years ago. Actual round count is unknown, but I have 350 documented rounds shot through it.

It is a chrome-moly 24" barrel and chambered in 6.5 Grendel. It has a 1-8" twist. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and it has a star flute pattern. This is not a standard pattern that MGM ever offered, but the guy I got it from had a very good relationship with MGM and would test prototypes and have them do other wacky things for him.
When I got it, it was gloss blued with the star flutes cerakoted white. I sent it off to have the muzzle threaded 5/8-24 and have the whole thing cerakoted to match the Encore SS frame. It will come with the thread protector that is shown in the picture. It will also come with the 1" DNZ mount that is shown.
It shoots factory Hornady 123 SST ammo very well and I also have both a 123 SST and a 105 Cavity Back MKZ load for it that both shoot great that I would be happy to share the recipes with the buyer.

If you were to have MGM build you this barrel today it would cost you over $800.

My price is $410, shipped to your door.

I would be interested in this but you can’t walnut forearms anymore for them. All I have is for ML.

Yeah, it is too bad that the Specialty Pistols forum shut down. There were a couple of members there that made stocks and forearms for these.

Haus of Arms does sell custom forearms for these, however. https://www.hausofarms.com/Solid-Walnuts_c_2685.html

Edit to add that I see that EA Brown (eabco.com) is taking pre-orders on factory TC stuff that includes walnut furniture.
