Does anyone have a chart that will show what barrels can go on what sized frame?
Thank you...

They're putting 357 & 44 Mag on SB1's from the factory now & I believe they will do it on sent in receivers (when they have the barrels)

check the stickies on the the Graybeard Outdoors webpage for tons of info on these rifles, I think they know more about them than the manufacturer!

I rember the Topper with interchangable barrels but I thought the Handi rifle barrels were permanently fixed, or at least required an arbor to push out the pin.

I cannot see why if TC can make a receiver that you can buy interchangeable barrels for -- the handi rifle could not do the same. I mean look at them both are break open actions that use interchangeable barrels. I would rather spend a few more bucks and have the option to not have to send your gun in to be fitted which is why I sold off my two handi rifles and bought an Encore.

Multi- the Handis, H&R, Topper, and New England are all the same, barrels pop right off the same.

The handy's cost about half of what an encore sells for and so do the barrels. A lot of that savings is due to looser tollerences so hand fitting of new barrels is required. I have several handy's and have had extra barrels fit to one of them. Frankly they give you a good bang for your buck in my opinion.
