Good point. All the online stores already consider the Encores to merit FFL or background database for purcahse for some reason.

The TC Encores have to be ran through the yellow card and the NICS system because the frame can be used for any of their rifle barrels.

Of course that's one of the nice things about the Encore, one frame and about any caliber of barrel that you can imagine, (it won't handle the new WSM's or SAUM's though according to EA Brown Co).

All the online stores already consider the Encores to merit FFL or background database for purcahse for some reason.

That's because you can interchange barrels to make the rifle a centerfire one of practically any caliber. CF rifles require background checks. Barrels by themselves do not require a NICS check.
