I looked at a handi rifle at the gun store today. I was wondering how hard is it to change the barrels out on these, i guess you have to send it in to the factory to have another barrel fitted if you want to have an additional barrel other than the orginal. The one i looked at had some type of pressed in hinge pin do these reguire some special tool to remove?? Another question is i read somewhere that you could also order a muzzle loader barrel for these is this true and if so how good are they.

CC, yes send them back to the factory for proper fit. Get the trigger job while its there. Easy. Nope the hinge pin does not come out...just remove the forearm and pull the barrel forward. Barrles have a U shape..not a hole like the TCs. Dont know about the ML barrle but go here
