Handi Bug Got Me
« on: November 21, 2008, 10:46:18 AM »
OK, I am new to the Handi game. I am the proud owner of a BC and really want to start getting into the Handi's. I have thought about sending in my BC for the barrel program. I assume that that is possible? But I am still a little unclear on what type of frame (SB1 or SB2) I should be looking for to build up for rifles. I have thought about buying a complete gun but it just looks more fun to be able to build the one that I want with the componets the way that I want them.. Thanks for all of your help and advice in advance.

Spend some time in the FAQs and Help sticky, SB1/SB2 details are there with pics and explanations. The BC has an SB2 frame which is the same as the Handi, just case colored, accessory barrel selection depends on when your BC was made, that's answered in the FAQs too.  ;)

Just so you know...

There is no known cure for the handi-bug!  ;)

But buying lots of extra barrels & frames makes
you feel a little better!!!

  That's not true.

   There is a cure for the Handi illness. You just buy more... condition solved. When it pops up again you just buy another one.

  ...and another one, and another one...

Thanks I knew that I could count on my Handi Brothers to look out for me.. I have looked in the FAQs but I am still just a little unsure and so that is why I was asking because I think that my situation is reaching critical mass and I am sure that I am going to have to have an intervention soooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
