In reply to:
It is legal to have rifle barrel on a pistol action, but it is not legal to convert a registered rifle action with a pistol barrel.

I'm sorry sir but your info is mistaken... that was settled in Federal court several years back... so long as the appropriate stocks/grips are used with the appropriate barrel lengths it's permissable to switch from rifle to pistol configurations or vice versa... if you have a rifle buttstock on it the barrel must be in excess of 16"... any length barrel with a pistol grip on it... a phone call to T/C customer service will confirm this...
unfortunately I must withdraw my previous statement about the legality of converting an Encore that's registered as a rifle into a pistol... this was some erronious information allegedly put out by T/C... there is a post at Bellm's site that counters this info with a letter from the ATF... sorry for getting your hopes up bro... and please accept my apology for doubting your word...
