I happened to have my .223 torn down today to trade stocks and thought I'd try the barrel on my "stainless" Hornet frame to see how hard it would be to fit. Locked up like a little bank vault, I was shocked. I turned around and put the stainless barrel on the blue frame and the same result
So, I'm hoping if I get another barrel fitted it'll work on both frames? That would be a bonus-bonus or maybe a bonus-bonus-bonus.
