NEF muzzleloader & rifle combo?
« on: August 25, 2007, 06:49:36 PM »
My uncle has a Handi-Rifle in 243 caliber. He wanted me to ask you fellows if he can get "just" a 50 caliber muzzleloader barrel for it, and have a combination gun to use in both seasons?

If not, do they make a combo gun like this?

Thanks!

There are 243/50 cal huntman combos, in fact one LUCKY member just got one from his wife today!! H&R has some Huntsman barrels listed on the accessory barrel page, I don't think they're all available but you should be able to get one fitted if the frame was made 1987 or later, serial number prefix HB or NB.

Jerry,
 Im the lucky guy that got the package deal,  my wife bought it for me yesterday.
 If the setup has a specific name to it or not, i dont know, but its really nice to be able to snap on the rifle barrel for the regular deer season and then switch out to the ML for that season.
Your uncle or anyone for that matter would really like it, as do i . my wife found mine at the local gun shop, a hole in the wall shop out of the way of more traffic. so you may have to shop around because, im not sure if NEF still offers a setup like this, my reciever is prefixed for  2004 production but they still are out there appearently.

Just make sure he is aware, if his 243 is set up with the monte carlo stock and a scope, it will be difficult at best to shoot the huntsman barrels with open sights as they come from the factory.  He will need to request the scope rail instead of sights, or buy a low comb stock.
