It will fit and lock up fine, but it won't fire, the pin strike is too far from the rim where the priming is.

It would be nice if NEF/H&R would make rimfire barrels that were slightly off set, like the Versa barrels. And just change the rimfire receivers firing pin over a couple thousands. That way your SB-2 could be even more versitle, by adding any rimfire barrels you see fit, and they could still sale the Rimfire Handis.
Or at least sale the Versa 22lr barrels through the program ???

I just got done talking to my smith about having one of my 22 mag barrels rechambered to 218 Bee , as far as fit , it locks up perfectly .

Now to just drop off the barrel .

Yes!, StimpyU ......

Please share with us your success.  I'm not interested in the Bee (not saying that its bad or anything), as I'd rather use a .22 WMR HB barrel for rechambering to .22 K-Hornet.

Never understood why NEF doesn't offer a bull-barrel Hornet.

IIRC, Shaner talked H&R out of a bull barrel hornet somehow, but he'll have to confirm that.  ;)
