H&R Handi-rifle or Pardner shotgun frame
I have an NEF H&R frame and stock but I don't know if it is from a Pardner shotgun or a Handi-rifle. I want to put a rifle barrel on it but the H&R site says a Pardner frame can't be fitted with a rifle barrel. Does anyone know how to tell them apart? Serial # possibly? Any help would be appreciated.

Additional barrels may be added to firearms of our manufacture since 1987 only, with a serial number that begins with N or H. We do not install additional barrels on any other manufacturer's firearms.
Additional barrels are available as additional barrels only. We will not exchange barrels for existing barrels on shotguns and rifles, as it will change the model.
Rifle frames may be fitted with additional rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader barrels.
Shotgun frames may be fitted with additional shotgun and muzzleloader barrels only.
We do not sell additional barrels outright. All barrels must be factory fitted.
We do not sell barrel blanks or do custom calibers.
In order to obtain an additional barrel(s), the stock, forend and frame (receiver) must be sent to us so they may be properly hand-fitted to the barrel, to be sure they are correctly head-spaced and proof-tested.

Correct! I have the handi rifle in .223 and sent it out for a .410 bbl. I love them "both" and was recently pondering another one. Possibly a 45-70 or 30-30, or some other big cal. Good luck![;)]

snood,
Hopefully,someone will correct me if I'm wrong,but there should be either a "SB1" or "SB2" stamped on the frame.
SB1=shotgun
SB2=rifle
Rifle frame(SB2) can be fitted w/rifle,shotgun or muzzle loader bbl.
Shotgun frame(SB1)=shotgun barrel only.

I know the specifics on the additional barrels. I've sent in frames twice for additional barrels. But I have a receiver that came to me without a barrel. I don't know if it is a shotgun or rifle barrel. Can't find markings on the receiver other than a serial number.
Thanks0 -
Call them and give them the serial#.
