NK prefixed recievers
« on: March 23, 2007, 07:28:45 AM »
Have one in .223 and was notified when the barrel program started that NK recievers could not get other bbl.s.Anyone know why?Mine shoots so tight I had to put a 6-24x40 target scope on it to get the full potential out of it,,,shoots S&B ball into postage stamps out of a dry bbl. all day,,,hates Horny Varmint Express 55 gr.
Also,,has anyone actually SEEN any of the 7x57 rifles,,,thats what I am after.
THANXX

If you check the FAQ section there is an explanation for which receivers can get acc. barrels, I think it is HN or NN or later. somebody here will help with more detailed reasons than I can.

Any frames made prior to 1999 can only be fitted with the barrels in the accessory list that aren't marked with asterisks*(high pressure rounds), although no frame made before 1987 can be fitted with barrels at all. See the FAQs for additional info on mfr year. K= 1996, so only lower pressure cartridge barrels can be fitted to it.

Additional barrels may be added to firearms of our manufacture since 1987 only, with a serial number that begins with N or H. We do not install additional barrels on any other manufacturer’s firearms.

 ??? ??? the.223 is not exactly low pressure ??? ??? I wondering if it is  more of a breech thrust consideration mated with side exspantion dynamic in a minimally tapered case ??? ???

Correct, bolt thrust is the critical issue. ;)

There doesn't seem to be a simple answer to that one.
I think backthrust causes more problems for a breakover than pressure alone.
Some people even have old guns chambered for rounds that can't be fitted to there guns at the factory.

Yep lots of 25-06 shooters round here they seem to be one of the more accurate handies. Mine shoots moa or better if i do my part. Good luck finding a 7x57 not many around.

That's because the current frames are much stronger than the older pre '99 frames, give Gordon a call at H&R and see what he says about em. I have several older frames, I won't put a high pressure barrel on any of them for the same reason H&R won't fit * marked barrels to them, this even includes my '96 RMEF 35 Whelen, it's on a late model frame and the RMEF frame sports a .45-70 barrel.  ;)

What's Ruger got to do with H&R?? H&Rs are all built in house in, see the factory tour video in the FAQs or call Gordon at H&R, toll free number is also in the FAQs. ;)

The .444 Marlin will be available shortly, only instead of the obsolete 1:38" twist of the original, they'll be 1:20" broached rifled, this week or next, by the owner of H&R, Marlin. I have a frame there right now ready to be fitted with a barrel and checkered camo lam stock set!! ;D

The 7x57 is rare to find, I know MSP and Cheatermk3 both have em here, I have a 7x64 Brenneke as do a couple others here.

well quick,,now that I think on it,,the way I got it was H&R learned the way to invest cast for hi pressure or somethin' like that from Ruger,,but thats been awhile back anywho.I saw my first .444 handi 5 year ago at a gunshow and thats when I first saw the Gibbs Frontier Carbine in .45/70,,thats why the .444 stuck in my mind,,,I really like the .45 colt Carbine but for the caliber.........now a .444 or .45/60,,,thats somethin' else again!!!! :D :D As for a 7x57, I may have to get a 7/08 and ream it out,,might have to go to an AI,,just as long as the cases say 7x57!! ;)

H&R/NEF were having Ruger cast their recievers up until a few years ago, I don't know if they are still doing it or if H&R took it over, but I do know for a fact, that Ruger was casting them. And yes, Quick id right, I do have a 7x57 Handi, and it's fantastic!!!. The 7x47 barrel is a long story but in the interest of brevity, I was at the factory having a bit of work done on a gun and inquired about several things, one a 7x57 and the second  a ML barrel. No luck on the ML barrel but I had left my name and number and about a year later got a call inquiring if I still was interested in a 7x57 barrel, YES!!! says I, and the gun gets sent back to the factory, the problem was my frame, a then a brand new but 1 year old SB2 which was 1 year to old for a high pressure barrel, they took care of me in grand style. I got the gun back with not only the barrels I had ordered, since besides the 7x57 barrel while it was there IIRC I got a 24" w/screw in choke 12 gauge and another 12 gauge barrel, a Tracker I or II barrel, can't quite remember which it was, and I got the barrels back on a brand new frame!! A frame 1 year newer and capable of accepting any barrel. Their CS was great then and it's great now, you gotta love these guns and their CS people....<><.... ;D

I'd venture to guess that Ruger may have had a hand in making them prior to '99 as that's the magic year when they start fitting  high pressure barrels on them. That makes as much sense as anything else.  :-\
