Just picked up a stainless .45 calBP Encore barrel. Can it be converted to Smokeless? Who do you suggest doing it? Cost? Time frame getting it done? Now I have to find a Frame.Thanks

You can not convert a Black Powder barrel to smokeless. Your options are DD bullberry pac nor, converted TC 45/70 barrel,converted Bergara 45/70 barrel, SMI barrel.. I had Slufoot convert a TC 45/70 barrel and am happy with it. I keep my black powder barrels for muzzleloading season as smokeless is not allowed. I would work up loads in that .45 black powder barrel with blackhorn 209. Price- Cost of barrel- Savage breech plug (luke sells them)- Breech plug installation (slufoot does it) Once you have all the pieces it only takes a few weeks. DO NOT SHOOT SMOKELESS OUT OF THAT BLACKPOWDER BARREL

I DON"T PLAN ON SHOOTING SMOKELESS OUT OF THE BARREL. You need to re-read your post then cuz it reads that you want to shoot smokeless from a BP barrel. |

If you don't have the frame, what else did you plan to do with the barrel?
You asked
It appears you are asking about converting a BP barrel since you haven't found a frame.

You can not convert a Black Powder barrel to smokeless. You should not convert a black powder barrel to smokeless. |
