Custom barrel for Handi
« on: August 30, 2008, 09:19:18 AM »
If memory serves there was a guy in Oregon doing custom barrels for a Handi Rifle.   I aquired a barrel lug and would like a 260 or 6.5-06 made.

I would have to assume you would be referring to Wayne York - Oregunsmithing

Tim had a 6.5 X 55 made up with a Shilen barrel I believe. I believe it was Mr. York that did his barrel work. No report yet :(

Wayne did the work, but I don't have it yet. :-\  For a 6.5-06 I'd have him rebore a 26" 25-06 barrel if that's possible, I'd surely ask him.  ;)
