I will work for a shotgun and the huntsman barrels, but not for rimfire since it's a centerfire frame. The best way to find out what can be fitted is to call H&R and ask em, (866)776-9292, toll free.

I would say a qualified yes to both.  For a Rimfire you must have the barrel with an offset chamber so the pin will strike the rim of the cartridge.  For the muzzel loader, early ML barrels used a very large flat fireing pin to strike the cap, newer ML barrels use a primer carrier arrangement and use a smaller fireing pin.  Larry
