but say you got the news you could not enter say a South American country with a Wildcat or Proprietary caliber handgun. Something weird like that.

My beloved FA2008 in .378 GNR would be out. Bless his heart I know with enough time Bob could make me another barrel for around $600 (at least), switching to an Encore would sure be more cost efficient. What plan B would go good in the safe for a world travel option?

Gary's designs are about the most efficient I can figure in the handgun barrel but what if you couldn't use them?!! Had to be a factory produced and listed caliber.

Gary have you guys ever done Encore handgun bbls. in - WB, 2018-02-16, 12:47
