20 ga USH
« on: June 02, 2007, 02:48:29 PM »
I have recently acquired a 20ga USH barrel.  I know these come on rifle frames.  The tracker barrels can be put on sb1 frames.  Slugs don't produce any more pressure in this barrel than a tracker right?  Can this barrel be used safely on an SB1 frame?  Never even thought about it til it got here.

What's the diameter of the barrel at the breech? If it's 1.1", it should work fine. SAAMI MAP for the 20ga is 15kpsi.

darat100,

The 20ga USH is a SB1, just like all the other shotguns except for the 10ga and 12ga USH, they are on SB2 10ga frames, but not the same as SB2 rifle frames.

I am 100% certain on this, I just went and dug mine out of the safe and it is a SB1 frame. If they were on the SB2 rifle frames they would also cost a bunch more too.

I also shoot mine on my Huntsman SB1 frame, locks up perfect and has the best trigger of any gun I own, and I own a lot of 'em. ;D

I was not aware the 20ga USH comes on a rifle frame?  I don't think it does....

Thanks guys.  I did double check the barrel diameter and it is 1.1"

Wow, just happen to have an extra sb1 frame in the closet.  NEW GUN!!!!  no having to switch it out on something else.

Doesn't get any better than that.
