I would like to know some custom barrel manufacturers for tc encore.

I am aware of Bullberry, and now Virgin Valley is closed, who are some others? Also their reputation?

Thanks for your help!

I know there is a third one - but for the life of me - I can not think of who it is.

But I have to say out of the two the you have listed - Bullberry is one of the finest. Expensive - yes - their work - some of the best and they build tack drivers.  :grin:

E Arthur Brown does customs http://www.eabco.com/ . There is also On Target Technologies http://www.mbmco.net/home.htm. I chose Bullberry for my first custom.

Or you could just go with the best of them SSK industries.

www.sskindustries.com

Fast service and top quality with the best resale value of them all when/if you decide to let go of it later.

I like the workmanship of David Van Horn.  I have a 45 caliber ML barrel, and a 223 carbine barrel on order.     http://www.mygunroom.com/dvgunshop/vhbarrels.html

The only custom barrel maker I`ve use is Bullberry. I have 3 of theirs and they all shoot very well.

I like Bullberry.......but you will wait (if Fred told you three months all I can say is NOT ....my last BB barrel was nine months and three days). VVCG did nice work on my stuff...thats not an option and SSK didn't have time to talk to me. You might say the field is pretty narrow these days. I think I would go with OTT first.

I have one Bullberry and its a good barrel.  I have four OTT barrels and can't say enough good about them.  I have two OTT rechambers and they are top notch.  My OTT barrels are as perfect as a barrel could be.  They are very, very accurate and the cases just fall out of chamber.  On OTT barrels you send in cases and the chamber is made for your brass not having to fit the brass to the chamber that the barrel maker had a reamer for. :grin:
