Handi problem ......HELP......
« on: January 12, 2009, 12:35:42 PM »
OK i just bought a used handi .243 from a friend of mine.... anyways had maybe 20 rounds through it, basically new anyways i went to sight it in today put a new scope on it i get it sighted in at 50 yds everything is fine so i move back to 100 yds changes Nothing, didn't touch anything, and now every shot i take it breaks open as soon as i pull the trigger, i had just cleaned and oiled it, and keep in mind it was in the low teens out side before windchill, so i don't know if maybe something froze or if this is a common problem, this is my first handi....

Thanks,
Cory

Welcome Cory!! Read the Handi Basics 101 sticky and the Pop open medicine link in the FAQs and Help sticky, they should be mandatory reading for Handi newbies.  ;)

Did you get his taken care of?
If he's carrying a singleshot, don't expect a warning shot!
