Is the new NEF Huntsman built on the same frame as the Handi-rifle? Are the barrels interchangeable like the Handi-rifle barrels are? I can buy a Huntsman cheaper than I can buy the stock and barrel for my Encore, which is a better buy, I already own the Encore frame.

The huntsman is built on the SB-1 shotgun frame, not the SB-2 rifle frame. They do sell a combo rifle/ml on an sb-2, it is a .243/.50 cal.
Your best bet would be to buy a rifle, then order the ML barrel, or just get the huntsman ML by itself.

Go to www.hr1871.com if you already have an SB1 or SB2 frame it can be fitted with the .50 cal barrel.My father just bought the combo .243/.50
and the .50 shoots real nice.

Ok my question is my nephew has a nef pardner 20ga.Would i be able to purchase a 50 cal barrel for his model i'm not sure which frame it has on it.I'll look at it tommorow see if it says on it.I would personally like to see them offer the different calibers i own one of the earlier 58cal huntsman and i love the gun it's never let me down i own 3 other blackpowder rifles but when it comes to the hunt i'll take my old reliable 58

Tbear99,
The pardner 20 is the SB1 frame and yes you can get a 50 cal huntsman for it. I think the cost is $75 when you ship the frame to NEF for the barrel to be fitted. Hope this helps.
