High Standard Bbl Interchangeability

I have a 7 and 1/4 inch HS fluted bbl I would like t use on my Victor. However it doesn't seem to want to fit. The breech end appears too long and won't drop into the receiver slot and allow the button to close over the pin.
Anyone experience this? Is it a simple matter of having a gunsmith file and fit?

I have a Supermatic with two separate barrels - a 6.5" flat sided and the 5.5" bull barrel. I went through a bit of aggravation to get things to fit, but in the end all went OK.
I'd suggest removing the spring loaded plunger from the frame to make certain the the barrel stud fits into the oval cut on the top of the plunger. Doing this with the plunger off the frame and no spring pressure is much easier. Mine was a "just barely" fit and once I got it in, that plunger had to be depressed just right to allow the barrel to be removed. Struggling against the plunger spring made things tougher, that's why I say take the plunger off the frame to check the fit first.
In short, the widest point of the oval cut on the plunger must be wider than the diameter of the barrel stud. They almost always are and it's usually just a matter of developing the right "feel" for how much to depress.
