I'm new here and the search function doesn't seem to return satisfactory results, so...
There is a ton of information here but I do have a question about replacement barrels. I recently purchased a .223 handi (SB2-223) and I want to get the following barrels for it:
.308 22" bull centerfire
.45/70 Gov't 22" centerfire
12 Ga. 24" 3 1/2" shotgun
.50 cal. 26" muzzleloader
Here are my questions:
1. Since I have an SB2 model, all of these barrels will work with my receiver, correct?
2. Are either of the rifle barrels or the muzzleloader barrel drilled and tapped for a scope mount? If so, do any of them come with scope mounts, or do I have to purchase them separately? The .45/70 says it comes with adjustable open sights, but is it drilled and tapped as well?
3. Does the muzzle loader barrel come with a different fore end that accommodates the ramrod? (Side note that probably belongs in the muzzleloader forum: Is the muzzleloader barrel capable of handling 150gr charges? Just curious...)
I know this question spans the three different forums for H&R/NEF firearms (centerfire, shotgun & muzzleloader) but I figure that since I was putting them onto a rife receiver the centerfire forum was the best choice.
Thanks a lot!
