I have a couple of barrels for my handi-rifle and I would like to get a couple of shotgun barrels as well. My question is this: Do the shotgun barrels require the special shotgun fore-end or can they use the "regular" handi-rifle fore-ends? Do the shotgun barrels require the "o-ring" treatment that many of the rifle barrels require?

Thansk for your help.

You use the same forearm and do not need the O ring. I did have to burnish the barrel on my turkey 10ga. some where way back there is directions on how to do that.

My forearms swap back and forth but the only rifle barrels are 357 and 45-70. I haven't heard of anyone doing the o-ring trick on shotguns. What barrels do you want to get and what will you use them for?

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. I want to get a 22" 12 ga for home defense and a 28" with choke tubes for dove, duck, turkey, and geese. I may splurge and get the polychocke tube for it. Can run slugs through that too. It seems like a great idea. I saw one at the Houston NRA convention this year.
