Receiver question...

This came to me as I look at a few of the recent SS rifle threads.
Does anyone know if the receivers of the pistol cal. and rifle cal. are different, or the same?
Can they handle the same pressures?

Why don't you just call H.R.A. as they made it so they should know.

Guess I'll have to as this seems, even though several own one they know little about them.

I don’t have any knowledge of the single shot rifles but I do know that the .410 shotgun I recently purchased is built on the 45/70 frame. Not much help I know but “that’s all I gots”.

No idea I did have a single shot rossi years ago with 410 and 17HMR barrels, they were also available in centrefire cals.
Same receiver for all and the rimfire barrels were set up with the barrel sitting higher in the action so the firing pin struck the rim.

Aha! Did have me wondering. Those 444 Marlin are an under appreciated round. Have not owned a .44 mag, but, have shot a bud;s 444 M to know I like it! It's a damn good round.

That they are Tom, I actually have a pair 444's, a Sporter Safety, and a P.
Was lookin at the Henry SS and noticed it comes with a 1:20 twist... which would be great for a 300gr+ cast.
Just lengthen the chamber a wee bit and well there ya go.
If it's the same receiver, then the pressure should be no issue.
