johnf Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Was at a pawn shop today and found a Braztech 22 youth for $50. It was in about 90% shape and I was looking for a youth rifle for my daughter. It's not exactly what I wanted, but cost 2/3-3/4 less than what I was planning on spending. Does anyone know if you can swap out the barrels for these. Their websight says that they have a barrel accessory program, but it's not on-line yet. I'd like to get aa 243 barrel for it later if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7th Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: Couldn\'t pass it up. johnf, Is this the Rossi? I think that is what is on my 10 year olds gun also. If it is then they do have other bbl's upi can get for it but I will say this, they are so lite that the recoil is very bad. I got the .410/.22 combo and the 3 bl gun with a 3" .410 shell will hit me harder then any 3" 20 ga ever. Then again, Jimmy (my 3rd son) is so much like me that he thinks that if it goes bang then he is happy. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .223 Rem is not anything nasty. The .243 Win can generate some thump when fed the 100 gr bullets, but its not extremely bad. Start them out with 55 gr varmint ammo and over the summer gradually work them into the heavier stuff. Take your time and don't force the issue.

johnf Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: Couldn\'t pass it up. I shoot the winchester 100gr softpoint in my NEF and have never noticed any recoil. Of course this rossi is a lb lighter. Do you have any idea what the barrels cost for the rossi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I would expect the rifle or slug barrels to be between $75 and $100 per barrel. The shotgun barrels should be between $35 and $50.
