I now have my .35 Remington barrel and I must say a .280 and a .25-06 in a 26" barrel are both GREAT guns/calibers. I also have my .357 Max and 45/70 as well as my rimfires and shotguns and my .223's and .22-250. I do still want my .45 ACP Handi barrel but a Handi in .338 Federal would be nice also....<><....Does anyone know if my 30/40 Krag Handi barrel could be rechambered and rebored to .338 Federal? What do the chamber dimensions look like?....<><....

I just wish NEF would stick with rimmed cartridges.
Quick do you think the 30/40 Krag barrel I have could be redone into a...Drum Roll Please.....a .348 Winchester!!!! Another of my all time favorite old cartridges....<><....
"I have never had a stuck case."Me either, because I don't buy barrels for rimmless cartridges.Stuck cases are the #1 (and very common)complaint I hear on Handi Rifles.
But when the barrels are longer than 22" the rifle is no longer Handi.

With a 22 inch long barrel they qualify for a 12 year old to use.They are not Handi with the HST mounted on top either but a lot of folks do it and want a short barrel to boot.I have never understood the short barreled Handi concept except on the original .410 Handy gun.
I'd really love to see the .338 Federal. I just think that would be awesome in a Handi or Ultra. Obviously I'm partial to the .308 and the .338 Federal is based on the .308 case and necked up to .338 for a little bigger game. I'd be one of the first to buy one. Been thinking about that caliber in a Handi since it came out.
