Barrels often fit from frame to frame.  Rifle barrels can only be safely put on an SB2 rifle frame with the exception of .357 Magnum/Maxi, .44 Special and .30-30.  Some have done .45-70 kept to trap door levels also like the original Shakira's were.  If you look at the Handi-rifle section you will find a FAQ which will guide you through many questions concerning Handi-Rifles.  I'd spend some time there and see if you are willing to put forth the effort that may be required to fit one prior to purchasing.  I have been excessively blessed as I have 6 barrels I've purchased and every one has snapped onto my frames.  ;)  Sometimes the sun shines on every dog I guess.  ;)

Also, provided you have a post 1987 SB2 receiver and barrel, you can send them ti Ilion for fitment for about $35.
