An handi-rifle barrels be swapped out for different calibers?

[Gatoragn]

Absolutely. But the only caliber I have is a .280 Rem.

So you could get a 45-70 barrel ad shoot it if you already have a 500 S&W?

Not always, and it is a factory job. H&R says: "We do not sell additional barrels outright. All barrels must be factory fitted."

And they do list a 45/70 barrel.

Thats my point- It has to be FITTED -

[97cobra]

Yeah I wanted to know if the barrels would be interchangeable. If it has to be fitted I'd be better off buying another rifle to shoot the 45-70

My favorite pairing !
