Need help finding a 444 Handi
« on: December 15, 2010, 03:07:49 PM »
I am looking for a SB2-4T4 model but have had ZERO luck finding one. I have checked several online sites and all say this model is backordered, not in stock, or something of the sort. Can anyone point me in the direction of one of these? The link below is the exact model I'm looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

You could buy a 444 with a different stock set and sell that set and then buy the Handigrip set to install on your gun.  I think a new Handigrip set is around $60.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?

+1 on BB's suggestion, the Handi-grip stock is available from H&R and Midway, or you can swap for one in the classifieds here.

Good suugestions guys and the thought has crossed my mind and I have went that route with my Encore's before. However, now I have a pile of extra stocks and forends lying around cause they are practically impossible to sell for a decent price. Thanks for the help. I have found one but the price is a little higher than I want to pay. I may hold out til more dealers get them at a more fair price.
