    I have a h&r model 88 in 410 (single shot break over) well my friend has told about changing the barrels out on it to different calibers and I've been thinking about it.

    What can I use from a different h&r to get another caliber?

    Your frame is made of cast iron, you can forget rifle barrels of any type. I was wondering when someone would think of this because technically a rifle barrel could be made to fit. You have to use the SB-2 frame which is made of heat treated cast steel, big difference. GW

    They may fit a 357 or 44 barrel to it depending on when it was made. They sell the 357 and 44 rifles on the sb1 frame, which is the shotgun frame. The sb2 frame is the rifle frame.
    Go to gray beard outdoors in the forum section and there is a HR section there. You can have shotgun barrels fitted to it.

    In the long run it would be cheaper just to buy the H and R rifle you want. By the time you purchase the barrel and have it fitted you could have bought a nice used (or even new ) one in any caliber.
