Ed stocks more TC barrels (including MGM barrels) than just about everyone else combined. Website is usually woefully out of date but a phone call or email will get you precisely what you want.

My understanding has always been it's the pressure that comes with most rimless rifle cartridges that's the issue, not rimmed vs rimless. The Encore was designed around higher pressure rifle rounds from the start. Pressure can be a real issue with Contenders. I've heard of stretched frames with Trapdoor level .45-70 loads. Now what I don't know is if those were worked up with smokeless and right at the top of "safe for Trapdoor" loads, BP loads, or if the frame had already started to stretch from something else and heavy but safe for TD loads exacerbated the problem.

How do you work with that? I got one, it arrived yesterday. 13 1/2-inch length of pull, but with where the grip is positioned, I thought I might have been sent a Youth stock by mistake or omission, until I measured it. I feel massively scrunched up with it shouldered. Very awkward. Need to add an inch or so. Nothing like a standard bolt-action rifle stock.
I also picked up a Choate M4 adapter. Will probably just move forward with that initially, as LOP is adjustable and I have a surplus buffer tube sitting around. The assembly will end up heavier, though. That'll probably be OK for awhile, as my only rifle barrel at this point is a 24-inch bull.

Not another dime.
In keeping my SBR as short as possible I use the youth synthetic stock. Probably a 12.5” LOP. Works for me but I’m 5’9” and generally prefer shorter stocks on my bolt guns. I just ordered my first actual rifle length barrel to try on it, a 16” .17hmr.
I think that Choate adapter will really shine with a brace like the tailhook and a 12” barrel. I may try one with an SSK50 frame and my SBR barrels.
