> Definitely have it checked. Dropping any gun is not something to toy with and just go back to shooting while throwing caution to the wind. If it’s a TC octo-barrel I can check the barrels straightness pretty easy but have to take the rifle apart for a day. Would need the gun for about a day. If it’s bent, buying a new barrel is the way to go. Straightening the barrel get’s into all sort of metal fatigue without proper heat treatments and just isn’t worth it on anything that can be bought off-shelf 🙂

I dont have the Octagon barrel so no dice there. Im not sure they make that an option for the Encore do they?

I will def have it checked out as soon as possible either way. Thanks though.
