Barrel from Buckstalker snapped on!
« on: May 05, 2012, 12:55:03 PM »
Ever since I bought my Traditions Buckstalker when it came out, I thought about just how close the action looked to my H&R's but slightly different.  I have wondered, but never tested to see if H&R barrels will interchange or Traditions barrels will interchange though.  Today working on my Northwest Tradesgun concept from the Huntsman page, I pulled out my Buckstalker and took off it's forearm and barrel and snapped it onto the frame for my trade gun and low and behold it fit perfectly!  The barrel screw support is much heavier and square, but the Underlug is identical (little thinner) as is the latch shelf.  Unfortunately, the thinner slot in the Buckstalker frame means that the H&R Barrels will not go onto it.  I'm not stating it's a perfect union as open it's a little sloppy, but it latches up tight and fits as well as my .223 Rem does.  Just thought I'd pass the data along.  Might be good for doing stub work also, if one comes across some Traditions ML's cheap.  hehe
 
Closed Action - locks up tight

 
Open Action - little sloppy, but won't come off and ramrod holds also.  ;)

The important part is the lock up. being loose when open does not maen a thing, in fact, I think a Handi should be tight at lock up and be a little loose at open to shoot well.
 
Good Luck and Good Shooting

Yah, the cool thing that Traditions did think about that the huntsman didn't is that it tilts up further so you can remove your breechplug without removing the barrel.  ;)

Is anyone else having an issue seeing my pictures?  No one mentioned it on about 30 posts I've made in the last week, so wondering if it's possibly an issue with your security settings?

Couger - Question, by any chance did your log in time out.  When it does, you'll find that you can't see the photos.  You then have to log back in to see them, at least that's what happened to me before I realized it.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

The forearm stock is the one that came with the Buckstalker.  The buttstock is my .45 Colt BC wood put on temporarily for fitting up stuff.  ;)
