Thompson Center Hardwood HD Camo Forend for Encore Rifle, 24" & 26" Barrels

• Encore barrel compatibility: Built for Encore rifle barrels in 24" and 26" lengths, this forend gives the correct fit for the barrel profile it is meant to support, helping maintain a secure, consistent hold on the rifle.
• Composite construction: The composite body stands up well to field use, moisture and routine handling, making it a practical choice for a hunting rifle that sees regular outdoor use.
• HD camo finish: The camo exterior helps the rifle blend more naturally into woodland and mixed terrain, while also hiding everyday marks better than a plain solid-color finish.
• Purpose-built rifle accessory: As a dedicated rifle forend for the Encore platform, it supports a natural forward hand position and preserves the handling qualities expected from a single-shot hunting rifle.
• Genuine Thompson Center part: Using an original Thompson Center accessory helps ensure proper fit with the intended platform and keeps the rifle configured with factory-matched furniture.

About the Thompson Center Accessories Series

Thompson Center Accessories is a field-oriented product family built around the practical needs of hunters and outdoor users. Rather than focusing on one narrow type of add-on, the series covers the everyday support gear and firearm accessories that make a hunting setup easier to carry, handle and adapt to specific conditions. Across the range, the emphasis is on straightforward function, durable materials and compatibility with established Thompson Center platforms.

Within the broader lineup, the series sits as the supporting layer around the company’s firearms, with products that include carry solutions and platform-specific accessories. That makes it especially relevant to users who want to tailor a rifle or muzzleloader to a particular role without changing the character of the firearm itself. In the case of stock and forend components, the design approach is simple: maintain reliable fit, keep handling familiar and use materials suited to repeated outdoor use. The result is an accessory range that complements Thompson Center hunting firearms with practical, model-specific parts rather than generic one-size-fits-all solutions.

About the Thompson Center Hardwood HD Camo Forend for Encore Rifle, 24" & 26" Barrels

The Thompson Center Hardwood HD Camo Forend for Encore Rifle, 24" & 26" Barrels is a dedicated furniture component for shooters using the Encore rifle platform with the specified barrel lengths. Its main advantage is not complexity, but correct application: a forend matched to the intended rifle configuration helps preserve the balance, support and clean fit that matter on a break-action hunting rifle. On the Encore system, where different barrel types and configurations can require different forends, using the proper model is important for both fit and overall handling.

This version uses a composite construction, which is well suited to hard field use. Composite material resists the routine knocks, damp conditions and temperature changes that hunting rifles often encounter, while keeping maintenance straightforward. The camo finish adds a practical visual benefit in the field by reducing contrast against natural backgrounds and by making wear less obvious over time.

In use, the forend contributes to the rifle’s feel as much as its appearance. It gives the support hand a stable contact point and keeps the front of the rifle configured for the barrel length it was designed around. For hunters who rely on the modular nature of the Encore system, that kind of model-specific fit is the real value: the rifle remains consistent in the hands, and the accessory matches the platform’s intended setup instead of forcing a compromise.

About Thompson Center

Thompson/Center Arms traces its firearms business to 1967 and is headquartered in Rochester, New Hampshire, United States. The company has long focused on firearms for hunters, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts, with historical product areas that include muzzleloaders, black-powder accessories, interchangeable firearm systems and precision rimfire rifles. The T/C Encore platform is one of the brand’s established firearm systems, reflecting Thompson Center’s long association with modular, application-specific designs.

Over time, the company became particularly well known for hunting-oriented firearms and accessories that combine straightforward operation with platform flexibility. Smith & Wesson completed its acquisition of Thompson/Center Arms on January 4, 2007, and later announced plans to divest the brand on May 3, 2021. In 2024, Gregg Ritz acquired Thompson/Center Arms, continuing the brand’s connection to the hunting and outdoor market.
