Better fit and finish would be nice. Or like was mentioned in the past thread, why not offer a Utility Handi, kinda like the ones now, and offer a Real "ULTRA" model with this better fit and finish, and metal spacers and trigger guard?
2) All barrel lenghts available in all finishes...blue/stainless/fluted/unfluted/bull barrel...yes...even a 26" full bull barrel

I agree. This doesn't mean NEF/H&R would have to produce an actual complete Handi in all these configs, but make these barrels availible through the barrel program. That way these barrels will only need to be made to fill demand by those that really want them. Keeping cost down to producing whats necessary and filling smaller orders, like 20, 50, 70, etc... Quaility can be controlled better, not that Green Mountain makes a bad barrel, we all know other wise.
Same would go for more calibers offered.
Sell complete Handis in the most popular calibers, and different calibers only through the barrel program. Kinda like what they are doing with the 357Mag barrels and 450Marlin barrels.
I believe there's still a lot of untapped potiential in the barrel program.
I would like to see them hire a couple more Smiths to be able to handle and help oversee the work being done, as well as run a custom shop. Even if they started out with a 1 man custom shop, something..
And like Mac said, why not sponser here
It's not that expensive, and would be a welcome party to GBO.
EDIT- oh yeah, and a lower profile hammer would be nice too
