The Versa Pack frame is an SB1, it would work with a 357mag or 44mag if you fit them yourself, but H&R won't fit any other barrels to it, at least that was Gardner's policy, I doubt Ilion will either, but you can always call and ask, just give them the frame serial number and see what they say, see the Versa Pack sticky.

when I gave them my SN, they couldnt determine if it was SB1 or SB2.

But, Tim, you are much more knowledgeable on this so I will let you give advice. I'm still a pup here

I suspected as much for the same reason they have no information on the Wesson & Harrington rifles, the info was lost when Gardner closed, the Versa Pack was discontinued before Remington bought H&R.  :-\
