Hello and Welcome.    :)

I can see the need for at least two more calibers:  A 45-70 for Grandpa and a .30-30 for the youngsters.   ;)

Happy New Year.

Glad to have you with us jrhweldon, it's almost like another family here, a whole family of Handiholics!!!....<><....:)

P.S. - I agree on the .45-70 and the 30-30, most Handiholics have them, just because they are great guns...

gentlemen thank you for your warm welcome , I started off with a single shot , a jc higgins 22 cal and as time went by started going bigger and better or so I thought , now I'm getting older and am going back to where I started the  high dollar custom guns now set in the safe waitng for the grandsons to grow up, but your probably right I can see more single shoots in my future a 45-120 if I can rent a reamer to convert the 45-70 H&R  that is sitting on the wall at the local gun shop , shop owner said he would save it for me till after the 2 I have ordered come in ,I put my kids through college now I have started on his,ooh well I guess if your gonna play you gotta pay thanks again  jrhweldon

You're hooked now, too late, might as well throw in the towel, when you start talkin rechambers, you've been bitten by the Handi bug, no doubt!! :o 8)

But you're not alone!! ;D

hey Quickdtoo the handi-bug didn't bite me it was the gun-bug a long time ago,started my first rechamber  job 41years ago , a savage 22 hornet with a bad chamber bought that first reamer 22 K hornet with hay hauling money ,lot of sweat went into saving that old gun but a country boy can do about anything  with a little determination and a little advise from the right person, my neighbor about 2 miles away was a retired armorer , I picked up a lot of  knollege from that old man , a great friend up till he died still miss him today even if he was responsible for me getting bit by the gun-bug have a great day jrhweldon

There are many, many members here that have always been gun nuts, but choosing the Handi when so many gun lovers shun it is a little different path than most choose. ;)  When a fella spends $300+ on a rebore and rechamber of a $200- $250 Handi to a chambering not factory available, instead of just buying a rifle off the shelf in that chambering, that's more than just being a gun nut, that's being a true, dyed in the wool Handiholic, you'll get there sooner or later if you're not there already!! ;D
