Hammer-I've used the black ones from E Arthur Brown and yes they make a difference. You'll have to use a Dremel to work on the ears of the forend so there is no contact but it takes the side to side creep out of the barrel and doesn't void the warranty like overboring for the oversized pins.

Every factory Encore i have handled has side to side play. Not sure how this can be eliminated outside of actually narrowing the barrel channel in the receiver. My Encore is especially hateful. It hashad two new hinge pins including a .001 over size one. It still has that side to side play.My gun shootsmuch better than it should.

no "side to side" play in my Pro Hunter and my hinge pin is stock. i don't know if this makes a difference but i have also only had the barrel off one time (to change out my trigger springs). i don't keep swapping barrels around which may cause this issue you speak of.

I don't think it can hurt. I am going to get one for my Endaevor. And I am also thinking about getting the Boyd's Laminated Thumbhole stock set from E Arthur Brown (EABCO). Here is the EABCO web site and there is a picture of an Encore with this stock set and they also sell the locking hinge pin. What do you guys think. That thing just look like a shooter.
