Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't think you will be able to buy just the Sidekick barrels. That was the problem with using Huntsmans in Mass. Because you could and "might" add a centerfire barrel to the reciever they were classified as a "firearm" and were ATF regulated. The new Sidekick is a gun unto itself with no other barrels (centerfire) capable of being added to it. That is the whole reason behind the Sidekick, it is made as a "non-firearm" so it can be purchased as easily as any other BP firearm. Sorry guys, you cannot get a sidekick barrel for your current frame, as I understand it, or am I missing something?? My feeling is this, If the sidekick barrel will fit your current frame then your current centerfire/shotgun barrels will fit the Sidekick frame....<><.... :(

I think the orginal post was about the Topper deluxe classic ???? Not the Side Kick .  I picked up my used/new to me 10 ga NEF SB2 MAB tonight and I ask my smith about the Topper Deluxe Classic and he told me that he can order them but has no date of delivery.....

MSP- Sorry for the confusion I just figured since someone had said the side kick was arriving at stores maybe the new Topper Deluxe Classic was too.

Would love to get my hands on one also.  Not being familiar with H&R/NEF screw in chokes, are they interchangeable with any after market,Rem chokes,etc?

Also, haven't heard what the price range will be.....any help?

Anyway, would love to set one up for turkey hunting and much prefer looking down those vent ribs on any of the shotguns. :-)

Primer,
the screw-in-chokes that H&R?NEF have used in the past are the same as thread pattern as the Winchokes.... Lots of after market Turkey Chokes out ther as well as any others you'd want... MTNMAN :grin:

H&R uses the Winchester choke system, same as Mossberg.  I wish that H&R would come out with a 20 guage, vent ribbed, barrel with screw-in chokes myself.

Brett,
Now ya had to go and start that again... Screw-in-chokes in their 20 gauge... Well lets carry it further...Camo stock and fore grip, vent rib 26" barrel with Fibre optic sites(GOOD Ones)... How about an Accessory Cantilever scope mount attachment that would become an integral part of that rib for us Ol' Guys that are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.... and also like to shoot an Extremely tight Turkey Choke at close range...

Camo sling, Nice cushy butt pad, I've been on them since I built Lil' Tom back in '99...I'd LOVE to see them get with the program....MTNMAN :grin:

I understand your frustration and confusion with this liberal state of Mass. Look at all the press lately and the upheavel created across the entire country because our stupid, ignorant, appointed, anti-christian, liberal Massachusetts Supreme Court justices don't even know what Marriage is!!!....<><.... :(  (pray for them and us all!!!)l

MTNMAN,   Through in a complete set of tubes and a case to lug it all in to the field or range if you don't mind.

MSP Ret,  What will those heathens in the Supreme Court up there in my former home state buckle to next?...  marriage between adults and children?.... How about people and farm animals?   Take heart  there MSP, He is returning soon and He will staighten things out for sure.  :wink:

Just to let you know, Mass is a COMMUNIST state, not a liberal state. Sorry i haven't posted in a while, I was waiting for these individual forums to open because i wasn't too impressed with one forum for 5 topics. How's it been going while i was gone?
