SB1 or SB2?
« on: November 30, 2010, 12:08:58 AM »
What did I get in this purchase?  From what I've read it looks like an SB2 (that's the rifle capable one right?).  SN is NM 311XXX
Photo is from the rear with the stock off.

Thanks for any assistance in Identifying this thing's potential...

And rimfires and muzzleloaders ;)

But yes, that receiver in the picture is a SB1.

It's a SB1.  The serial number doesn't tell you a thing.

Pete's right,  you can't tell what kind of frame it is by the serial number, but H&R can, as for fitting accessory rifle barrels to it, even if it was an SB2, which it isn't, they will only fit 357mag, 44mag and standard shotgun barrels to it because it was made in 1998, one of the outsourced years, see the built year info in the FAQs.  ;)
