With COVID and resulting shortages this seemed like it took forever, but I have 2 new Encore barrels in route… One a carbine barrel in 500 JRH… And one a punkin chucker… 9” - 50-70 barrel Both intended to be companions to existing guns… Encore carbine to go along with my 500 JRH BFR… 9” - 50-70 Encore pistol barrel to go along with my Martini single shot rifle… have a pistol grip, and Splinter fore end coming as well… Should be some fun sighting in

Supposedly an ex employee bought out Fred.

Recall years ago reading an article on the 50-70 in a TC of some kind. Seemed quite a reasonable rig. Except for amounts of powder burned ! But sometimes, that's where the fun is. I'd be pondering wether to go with FFG or FFFG. Then I'd try both !

I bought a 50AK Bullberry carbine barrel not long ago. Picking up a heavy contour barrel that feels lighter than you expect never gets old.
An employee, Troy, bought Bullberry when Fred retired and the company has been rebranded Bullberry Legacy.
AFAIK, the transition has been seamless for options and quality.
I think the 500JRH carbine makes a lot of sense, given something like a 16-18 inch barrel in a relatively light contour.

Yes, I’ve been dealing with Troy, who is the new owner

What's your plan for sights on the 50-70 barrel?
I'm doing my best to NOT open the Pandora's box that is custom T/C barrels again, & this isn't helping...👋💸💸
