This is a FYI post in case you're having an Encore issue.
I have an Encore frame that was in a pistol configuration but sold the pistol barrel and stocks. I had a stainless 209x50 magnum barrel with a flextech forearm and just got the flextech butt stock in the mail today from Gunbroker. I put the barrel and foremd on the frame then installed the buttstock. Looked great but the hammer wouldn't cock! Hmmm..I removed the butt stock and hammer worked fine. Reinstalled the stock and again it wouldn't cock. I noticed the bolt although tight wasn't seated in the pistol grip. The butt had play and hammer wouldn't cock. Removed again this time put only the bolt in to where it was tight. No cock! I kept backing out the bolt until the hammer came back and hammer and trigger functioned properly. Ended up I had to cut off about 3/8" off the bolt threads. Anyway, she's all together, working and read to go.
