17 hmr

[WSMBUCK]

when you go buy a new h&r 17 hmr which frame is it on? I am wanting to get one rechambered to the 17 fireball and i know they have to be on the sb2 frames dont they?

It comes on an SS1 rimfire frame.

Yes, an SB2 frame would be required, it would need to be fitted by you or a smith.

ok thats what i was thinking , so that put me right back to where i started i was going to go out and buy a new gun and then get it rechambered, but looks like i will have to buy it in pieces. Thanks Billy

Buy the parts in the Classifieds here, then you won't end up with a frame and barrel you don't need, or buy what you can and sell what you don't need to pay for the rechamber.

yeah i posted on the wtb a while back about a 17 hmr barrel , but no luck so far, hate to go buy a new one then have to turn around and swap frames and then have to send it off to get rechambered.

I have a 17hmr rifle that i was thinking of some thing like this. Will the chamber match up on the SB2 frame since the 17 is a rim fire?

Sure, the only barrels with bores that are offset on any H&R are the Versa Pack rimfire barrels, the SS1 rimfire frame has an offset firing pin to work with the rimfire barrels, I put a rimfire barrel on one of my SB2 frames and dropped the hammer on a spent case, it puts a nice pin strike in the middle of the rimfire headstamp.
