Handi Receiver Question
« on: October 17, 2006, 03:31:36 PM »

nope and nef wont even fit them for you. you would be better off buying a center fire frame and putting shotgun barrels, it is not safe the other way around. the shotgun receivers are not meant to handle the high pressures of centerfire cartridges.

Around herre the NEF shotguns go for about $59.00 in the pawn shops, less if you buy several at once.  Larry
