help with a youth sportster

[huntinhick]

Hello,

I was going to buy my daughter a .22 lr sportsters youth and have a 22mag barrel fitted also.  However I have read here that all of the sporters can were each others stocks!  which if it is the case I will order the 22mag and a youth stock.  I know 22lr is cheaper to shoot but with the mag we can get a little more umff plus I have a 22mag and love it.  will this work?  or should I am I stuck with sending it in for a 22mag barrel to be fitted?

All frames will work with all stocks, rimfire, shotgun or centerfire rifle, except the 10ga and 12g slug guns which are bigger. The 22mag isn't offered with a youth stock, you'd have to buy one and add it. I would buy one of each, myself, complete rimfire rifles aren't much more expensive than accessory barrels after fitting and shipping is paid, plus the wait which could be 2 months.

Tim,

I was just on the H&R website and did not see a place where I could order youth stocks is that an option?  I favor the 22mag since where we live in washington state doesn't have a lot of small game but does have lots of smaller predators/varmints and I think the 22mag is a nice fit for that.  I am not to sure how much we would shot the 22lr other thatn training and the 22mag is good for that too.  I still take my 22mag out somethimes instead of my 204 just because I enjoy shooting it and the challenge of having to hunt a little harder. 

thanks

Carl, maybe we're neighbors, I'm in Vancouver!! The stocks are listed in their 2005 Retail Parts Price list which can be found in our Centerfire FAQs and Help sticky, there's a link to it above this topic in the index, prices may have changed, they don't offer a new one, at least not up to a few weeks ago.

We are not to far from you,  we are up by Olympia.  I am going to look at the parts list tonight and I think I am going to go order a 22mag from my walmart.  and then order the youth stock.

you might be able to trade the regular stock for a youth stock in the classifieds....<><....

Another option is to get the youth stock, then add a slip on recoil pad to make it an adult length stock when you want to use it. I hope you still have a Walmart selling firearms, they're dropping firearms in most stores, but not all, at least that's what they say at WM HQs.

I'm in SW Washington; you might want to try Bi-Mart.  They must have changed the lineup at NEF I bought asportster youth in 22 mag a year ago.  Bi-mart's supplier might still have them??

It's gonna be a long drive to a Bimart from Olympia unless they have a new one up there.
