Handi vs Sidekick confusion??
« on: February 07, 2007, 09:11:06 AM »
Hey Guys,

I've been under the impression that NEF developed the Sidekick as blackpowder alternative to the Handi with a blackpowder barrel.   That is to say....the Handi with a blackpowder barrel would still be regulated under the Gun Control Act as a center fire rifle, but the Sidekick had been designed so that this would not be the case.  Am I correct??   I've got a guy who wants an FFl to FFl on a Sidekick!!

The Huntsman was such a firearm, required 4473 processing, but the Sidekick is all ML(cept in Illlinois :-\), a shotgun barrel can't be fitted to it, which the Huntsman could, hence the 4473 requirement.

What Quick said. I have a Sidekick that I ordered from Cabelas, no FFL needed. The frame on the Sidekick is shorter than the Handi so no other barrels can be fitted.

Thanks Gents,

I'm getting to an age where things slip my mind.....I'm glad this wasn't one of them!!
