They will make it stainless if that's what you want, all it takes is money.

What kind of fps are you expecting out of that set up? As short as that gun is it would be perfect for a ground blind.

I'm planning on about 56-58 grains of H4198 getting me about 2500-2600 fps with a 200 grain Hornady SST. Guess I won't know for sure until I shoot it, hoping it doesn't shoot flames out the end. lol

I'm curious as well. Have a plane jane encore right now...thinking of making a change by next year. This might be easier than selling and getting a savage. Love the feel of my encore and trigger it has going on.

You plug the breech and shoot it. Just wondering.....does TC endorse this kind of conversion?

Endorse it???? Why the heck would they? It doesnt make a whole lot of sense. (1) it wasnt meant for that purpose and (2) they wouldnt be selling you something in the process.
No. Im sure there is an army of lawyers to tell you why the answer is no way.
