Handi Rifle 45 colt barrel

oldoneeye

I have a Handi Rifle in 45-70, want a 45 colt barrel to match a revolver. HR's barrel accessory program site says 45 lc "no longer available". I know HR sells the Buffalo Classic in 45 lc, but I want to save $$ and just go with a barrel. Before I post to want ads (can't find a HR 45 lc barrel for sale anywhere), wanted to know if the 45 lc that they once sold or fixed to the Handi was a true 45 lc only, rifled barrel, or some sort of 45/410 combo barrel, which I don't want. If not a true 45 lc barrel, I'll quit looking. Thanks for any input, and if anyone knows where these are hiding, fess up please.

Might try a 47/70 to 45 LC insert/ Adaptor. MC Sports in Alaska, made one up years a go for me.

Thanks Hoosier. Would you have contact information for them? I tried the internet, no luck. Thanks.

oldoneeye: Here is the web site for MCA. I have tried off and on for a couple of years to contact them. Both by phone and e-mail. No joy. YMMV

Thanks. I see a .45 Colt Buffalo Classic in my future. For $300 I get a new rifle. It would cost me more in time to track down the barrel for the Handi. Thanks again.
