.410 Encore barrel source?

[PddPdd]

My wife and I want to prepare for grand kids coming to visit and I'm looking to add some barrels to my Encore frames for training these potential, future hunters. One barrel I would like to find is a full length .410 barrel. Any recommendations on where to find one?

Thanks!

It turns out that Match Grade Machine no longer makes the 45/410 barrels.

I just did a MGM barrel build and the 45/410 option went thru fine? Did you call them?

 

[just_jon]

It is still listed under .451 caliber in their Chambers List. They call it 45/410 since it also shoots 45 Long Colt. I know a bunch of guys who run a 10" pistol version in this chambering for hunting rabbits with beagles.

I did call them and spoke to a person.

How recent did you order yours?

 

[Muddyboots]

Did not order, just tested the build request. Which is why I was asking if you called them. I know them well and can call if that will help.

Sure, if you have time to call them. Do you talk to a particular person? I would appreciate your help!

Well, my son is in same boat so I will let you know.

Bullberry doesn't make a shotgun length barrel for .410

OK, spoke to Bryce and the .410 is indeed removed from their catalogue. HOWEVER, if they receive sufficient number of EMAIL requests they may do a short run of them. SO I will be sending an email shortly and thought I would just make suggestion for it. If MGM hears the same song, they just may run the barrel.

The email should include language there is a resurgence in .410 use due to several reasons:
1 - many state wildlife agencies are adding .410 as legal firearm for deer and turkey
2 - ammunition manufacturer's are releasing extremely effective ammunition for the .410 such as TSS turkey loads.
3 - the .410 is much better suited for slight build individuals such as our youth, elderly and women.
4 - the .410 will help in hunter sustainability and recruitment since the recoil is far less than even 20 gauge

The email should be addressed to "Bryce" in the body of the email.
