Line in the sand?
« on: March 25, 2012, 04:17:09 PM »
Looks like H&R would help thereself by drawing a line in the sand & start making all barrels match all receivers from that point forward.
 
This would allow the offering of barrels without special fitting.
Looks to me like this would be a big benefit to them.
 
I don't know the production process, just seems to me to make sense. JMO

blucollar,
 
I think it would be hard for H&R to make them all the same as it only takes about 1 or 2 thousands  of metal added or removed from the pivot on the underlug to go from a good fit to a bad fit.   They would have to tighten up their manufacturing tolerances a bunch to achieve your request.  As is, all they have to do is be "close" on the fit and then someone is doing a quick "factory fit" to make one barrel fit one frame.  I would guess that they are making all of them "proud" in the pivot so all that needs done is a bit of metal relief and they are good to go.  I think the reason for the inspection hole on the frame they added a few years back is to make the new frame fitting process a bit quicker (cheaper) for H&R.

I wish they would offer the tool to remove the plug to see the latch or an easy way to remove it. I'd even trade them a lock for one, get more use out of that ::)


I know Tim had one he made that I'll have to have another look at. It would be nice to take a peek in there, I'd like to see what goes on in there ;D

BV,
 
I think Tim's plug removal tool is in the FAQs.  Also, IIRC Adam R posted that if you remove this plug there are a couple of scribe marks on the side of the latch that are apparently there to assist the factory with fitting the barrel/receiver.

Universal fitting  barrel's would be nice but, what I would really like to see is for them to start making all their barrels and chambers the correct size. I can fit the barrel to an action but I can't correct and over sized chamber , loose barrel or  extra long throat.

From the FAQs barrel fitting page, you can see the index mark on the latch in the pics.  ;)
