Bullberry was approached in 2007 by Hastings shotgun/accessories manufacturers to produce these barrels for the Encore. After a small run of their 3-1/2" Custom Magnum components Hastings went out of business and access to the high-quality barrel blanks was no longer available. Since that time we have been approached by an importer who periodically purchases small batches of the same Verney-Carron barrels Hastings had been working with. We have now ordered these same blanks with this same importer three times; each batch of barrels is as good as the last, making for a premium finished barrel we are happy to put our work into and our name and logo on – our only barrels not made in America.

​

We can chamber for the 3-1/2" custom length, or the more standard 3" or 2-3/4" as requested. Hastings 3-1/2" Magnum components are no longer available from SlugsRUs.com, though their great Sabot Pressure Wads remain available and can maximize these barrels' performance in any chamber length. With the right components in these barrels you can expect increased slug stability and amazing accuracy, equivalent to their rimfire and centerfire Bullberry counterparts.
