I'm buying a H&R 45-70 Handi Rifle from Buds. It should be here any day now. I was just on EBay and saw a H&R 270 barrel for $130.00. I know if you buy a new barrel from H&R, you have to send them your receiver for fitting. Would this barrel on eBay not fit right and maybe malfunction? Is it worth a try? What do you guys think? I'm not looking for anyone bashing H&R, that's not the reason for the thread. I just want to know if buying a barrel off eBay is OK and safe. Thanks.
