RE: H&R vs New England Arms
frizzellr ,I know they are the same company but different divisions and I vaguely remember that the barrels have to be fitted by a gunsmith or the factory ,unlike the thompson contender .You can't just take the barrel off of one gun and put it on another gun ,they have to be fitted. I might be wrong but I don't think so . They will fit diffent barrels on them that I do know.
