dan I did not call H&R, this barrell was bought used, and they are suppose to be fitted to the frame, even though 80% of them fit. I ended up just selling it.
The hornet is awsome if you handload. The H&R hornet has a 1-9 twist as uppose to evryone elses 1-12 or 1-14. Which means it will shoot heavier bullets. I load 50 gr nosler bt's with 13,2 gr of lil gun, 2700 + fps with that load and ragged holes at 100 yds. You need one bad, so get it. LOL
