The Encore rimfire adapter is a replacement
breech plug for the Encore frame that temporarily replaces the original
plug that holds the firing pin. Our breech plug has a special angled
firing pin that puts the indent on the bottom of the rimfire barrel
breech. Bottom ignition is generally not found on a USA made rimfire
firearm, but is quite common on high-dollar European target guns.
Bottom ignition is more uniform in ignition performance as it is always
"in the powder." Top ignition is spread over the powder
charge, in a random manner, depending on how the powder is situated
in the cartridge at the moment of firing.
Installation
How to easily install
our rimfire adapter in your Encore frame:
1. Remove the barrel from
the frame.
2. Look down the face
of the breechblock at the very bottom and locate the transfer safety
bar.
3. Push the protruding
tip of the transfer safety bar (located on the right side corner of
the breech block).
4. Cock the hammer. This will expose the allen
head set screw that holds the factory breech plug in place.
5. Remove the allen head
set screw with the furnished allen head wrench.
6. Remove the breech plug
forward. Do not to lose the firing pin or the tiny spring that fits
around it. Put these, along with the allen wrench, in a safe place
for future center fire use.
7. Install our breech
plug with the angled firing pin in the same position.
8. Prior to final tightening of the rimfire
breech plug using the Torx wrench supplied, push and hold the rimfire
pin forward. Tighten the screw while the pin is pushed forward. This
adjustment will allow you to fully tighten the screw while avoiding
the possibility of bending your angled firing pin.
9. Put the barrel back
on and you're done.
Note that the new firing
pin is positioned to fire "off-center" on the bottom of
the cartridge.
I've said in the past,
"if a man can tie his own boot laces, he can install our breech
plug adapter." And it takes about the same amount of time.
With your new Bullberry
rimfire barrel in place, you are ready for a totally new experience.
The accuracy with these barrels is spectacular to say the least. Our
chambers are of minimum tolerance on a premium lapped barrel blank.
Our accuracy guarantee applies just as
on our centerfire calibers.
