A few years ago, I had some trouble getting a new barrel for my Handi and some members here stepped in and helped me out. Remington refunded me my money and John Loschin offered to fix the messed up barrel they sent me. At the time, my wife was in a mental hospital, then a month later she was pregnant, was told we needed an abortion, then she wanted a divorce, and a week before my son was born, she booted me out of the house.
Needless to say, my priorities for getting my Handi Rifle back up and running fell to the wayside. I still have the Handi, the original bull 243 barrel and the 357 barrel Remington sent back to me, minus the front sight and hammer spur extension. The rear sight blade was also damaged and needs to be replaced.
I don't feel right about asking Remington to fix it after waiting so long. They don't even offer the 357 barrel with iron sights right now. Can someone tell me the part # for the proper factory replacement part for the front sight on the 357 barrel?
On a positive note, my 3 year old son is sitting here next to me, in a new home. I have custody of my kids 50% of the time, pay no child support and have a great girlfriend.
