I like it. Never seen one with the adjustable butt plate. Reminds me of an old Topper 20 ga. that I had years ago.....shortened to 18-1/8". That one was a real grouse getting machine.
I'm a little late on this thread, but if I remember correctly info I saw on another builders forum awhile back the idea came up about using a H&R shotgun receiver and rebarreling it to a "rifled" caliber, and that was deemed a no-no by law and the NFA. something to think about and research. Denny
And that is how rumors get started.
Better call Remington and tell them they are criminals.
I went with a williams fire sight front since its what comes with the handi muzzleloader barrel. There are three sizes, tall, medium, and short. I have one of each. Bought a tall and short, and the muzz has a medium. My muzzleloader shot too low, so the receiver sight gave me some good height right out of the box. So for a 24 inch barrel, the medium height front is the way to go. Matches well with the peep sight, which brownells will tell you how tall it is.
For the 357 I went with the tall front sight with the peep. I havent sighted in yet, so no indication yet on how it's gonna do.
What I do know is I wish the peep had two lit beads, it's hard to see in the dark. In the daytime its a slam dunk.
That is a nice one whiterabbit. I have 3 maxis, all on sb 1 frames. Made a shot to for my daughter and it is great. I love mine!
so, it looks like with the sight ALL the way up, shooting 38+p (my rabbit round), it's 1-2 inches high at 25, 4-5 inches high at 50 yards, and 2 inches low at 100 yards.
Might have been better if I put the medium height sight on there, not the high sight. .5" tall front sight would have done it.
my SB1 in 357Maggie is a small pin

I just tested some cast zinc bullets loaded with 30 grains of h110 in the 357 max handi sb1 large firing pin.
I could see the muzzle flash in the daytime. sheesh.
no issues though. So much for an sb1 action being "weak"
Actually, this was right before shooting a couple rounds in the muzzleloader barrel using 120 grains of FFF. same frame.
