Replacement Barrel(s) Questions
« on: July 29, 2007, 07:05:49 PM »
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!

It depends on the year it was made whether or not they will fit all barrels to an SB2 frame.  Larry

According to the serial number, my gun was made in 2007 (it begins HX).

If so then they will fit everything to it.  Larry

Welcome aboard Justin! ;)

As larry said, they'll fit all those barrels to your SB2 frame, the Huntsman barrel comes with forend as stated on the accessory barrel page.

All rifle barrels are drilled and tapped for a scope rail, those that come with sights are too, you can order a scope rail when you order the barrels, those are listed on the accessory barrel page and in the store.

The only shotgun barrels that are drilled and tapped are the slug barrels the Tracker II has sights tho.
