I bought a Youth Rossi muzzleloader barrel in 45 and sold the barrel. Is a youth 243 barrel safe to shoot if it fits? I also traded off some projects for a youth 22/410 set, would the 243 barrel be safe for that? My only other Rossi product is a broken adult 20 gauge that is similar to the youth guns but has no safety, could that maybe be a match

Rossi didn't have much to say about swapping barrels but there is a lot of barrel swapping taking place. If the action locks I figure it is good to go.

Re: Barrel Fitting Questions (Youth)
I've wondered about this myself. If I could find a 410 barrel for my wizard I'd be a happy camper, but I'm not sure about the interchange between the Wizards and the current single shots and Rossi seems somewhat mum on the subject.

The Wizard and Single Shots do not interchange. Tried it when I had both.Ohio3Wheels wrote:I've wondered about this myself.

I tried my 7.62x39 barrel on my matched pair pistol frame and thats a no go but between rifles might work.

I have combo barrels in 12/30-06, 20/243. And 12/17hmr and they all interchange. I think the 410 used a smaller width receiver so maybe the centerfire bbls won't interchange.

I think the hinge pin to breech distance is longer on the wizard design. You could 3d print it out and then take it to a machine shop and have them make the new hinge length mount for you.

Re: Barrel Fitting Questions (Youth)
Thanks, I haven't tried the 243 barrel yet on any of my frames yet. I will measure the 22/410, 45 Black Powder and I have a parts gun (Rossi 520??) that it may fit too. I will try to see if I get a lock up today. Main problem is that I only have one forearm and three frames/buttstocks. Maybe I should buy an ATI stock set just for fitting purposes. Rossi wood is hard to find!!
