SB1 vs SB2, any difference in FP size? would a huntsman SB1 recvr have a larger diameter than SB2, issues with primer punch on 209 primer with SB2?

SB1 shotgun frames have a bigger pin than an SB2 rifle frame which are about .063"-.075" depending on when it was made, but H&R always fitted Huntsman barrels to SB2 frames, so there's no problem with the smaller pin on 209 primers.

Normally Huntsman rifles came on an SB1 frame, but they've also been offered on SB2 frames in combos with a centerfire rifle barrel like 243 Win.
