You will find that Thompson Center's best feature is its customer service. Simpy to to their site, find their Email address and drop them a note telling you what you need - they will normally send it directly to your home free of charge. They are good people to work with. Enjoy your new toy.......

i went to lowes in the hardware and they have all the bolts and screws, regular or stainless, that you need. i bought some long ones for my fore end so i could float the barrel. if you have one you can go in and match it easily.

the fore end screws for the contender are #10-32 machine screws. i don't know about the encore. someone in here can probably tell you if they are the same.

Encore forend screws are 8X40 and hard to find in a hardware store. Get them from TC. I always order the long ones and grind them to fit. You can get screw blanks and a die from Brownells, but the screw blanks are soft.
