Hoosierbuck Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I wonder if it is OK to sell a barrel only...on a gun that requires factory fitting for a new barrel? Is this a safety issue that we should consider? Thanks, HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ive heard of people selling barrels but I dont think it necessarly seat against the breach properly. Guns are suppose to be fitted at H&R (NEF) for a new barrel. I would bet a good gunsmith could also do this. Also, one thing for everyone to consider, you can only step up in energy against the receiver. Meaning you cant put a 300win mag barrel on a .243. You can however put a .243 barrel on a 300win mag rifle. Not trying to hose your listing, just trying to keep everyone informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf5347 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I should of stated some barrel may require a gunsmith to fit the barrel to the action and check headspace. I had a few barrel fitted by the factory to my action and they were fitted poorly and returned.I know a lot of guys who buy used barrels and fit them to the action Ialso purchased a few used barrels but like anything else you have to know what to look for.

Jeramie Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Right on. The buyer needs to be as informed before buyung any weapon!

redkneck Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 You realize they sell this new at the website for $90 plus a little shipping? And it may not fit the buyer's receiver. http://www.hr1871.com/Support/accessoryProgram.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf5347 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 correct but add another $30.00 for shipping and barrel fitting and a waite around 6 weeks if you are lucky The new remington company that purchased H@R is far from the service what the old company was and the way they fitted barrels.

hungry hunter Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Not to beat a dead horse, but if I am correct you cannot exchange nef or hr barrels to another reciever. The barrels that are ordered are milled to a exact reciever. If i am wrong i do apoligize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf5347 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 no problem these barrel are hand fitted from the factory I seen a few botched jobs from the factory were they removed to much metal from the under lug,I think they must have a jig and a square file and all depends on the guy doing the job.
