I sent a frame off to H&R saturday afternoon by priority mail, they got it at 10am this morning!! Ordered a .444 Marlin barrel and a checkered camo laminate stock set, wonder how long it will be before they put a barrel on it, any ~~bets~~ guesses on when I'll get it back??

Hey Quick I have an idea. I am going to start a poll. We can vote on when we think you will get your gun back. I think it might be fun. What do you think.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #2 on:** March 12, 2007, 04:22:33 PM »

Naw, I was just kidding in light of the recent waits and the fact that the barrels are just now being made by Marlin, it might be even longer than recent waiting.

Mine got there this morning also getting the 357mag barrel can't wait!!!!! with my luck it will be there until next Christmas

Quick I covered that. It will run for 90 days.

I thought there were some reservations by a few here
on the board about the 444's twist rate and or bore being oversized?
Have things changed with the QC at H&R or NEF in the 44 dept?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 12, 2007, 05:41:47 PM »

Marlin stepped in and changed the twist rate to 1:20" with broached rifling, barrel production was scheduled to start this week by Marlin.

Quick,

How do you order stocks and forends from NEF/H&R? I checked their web site but couldn't find any listings or prices for stocks.

Ummm, FAQs!!!

See the 2005 Retail Parts Price list!!

What was your choice on the stock Quick, straight or Monte?
Will you be having a sight put on the tube or a rail for a scope?
I'm guessing that for those of us without an FFL, we would need to have
a special order like this shipped to a dealer to do the transfer.
Man a 444 with 1-20 twist sounds like a 150 yard dead on thumper with cast.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2007, 07:54:23 PM »

No FFL needed, they are an FFL, the frame is already in your name, you own it, barrel order instructions are on their web site.

Monte carlo, of course, it comes with a scope rail, my old eyes don't like H&R iron sights which would cost another $50, they'd be worthless to me!

The .444 will be Handi/Ultra/Sportster/Pardner/BC/Target #31!!

Group hugs are one thing, dunno about this love thing tho!!

PigBoy Crabshaw · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2007, 04:44:18 PM »

Nice collection there Quick. How long have them be following you home now? They seem to be breeding like rabbits. I guess I better go on out and buy me a Handi, as I don't yet own one. After a few rounds through it guess I can ship her off for the 444 if there going to be grinding them 1-20's soon. -g

quickdtoo · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2007, 05:16:49 PM »

I've not been collecting them all that long, first one was when I was a kid, dad gave me an old H&R 12ga that was made in the 20s from all I can tell, next one was a 20ga Pardner in '91, no rifles until 2004, started with a .223 Ultra Varmint, then a .45-70, then a couple accessory barrels, .243 and .25-06, and ......

If you get a used Handi, make sure the frame serial number prefix is HN or NN or later, 1999 is the oldest they'll fit the .444 barrel to, the barrels listed on the acc barrel list that are marked with an *, mean they're high pressure calibers and they'll only fit them to frames made 1999 or later.

The .444 is one of em!!

For the most part, lately they've been doing much better than they were the first of the year, the only hold up on the 444 barrel was it's new, Marlin just rifled the barrels not too long ago, so I feel fortunate to get it this soon!!

Tim

Roudy · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2007, 02:46:08 PM »

Tim,
It would probably be easier on H&R Customer service if you just called them and had them send you one of everything!

quickdtoo · « **Reply #20 on:** May 02, 2007, 02:48:37 PM »

Hey, that's not a bad idea, wonder if I could get a volume discount!!

Tim

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #21 on:** May 02, 2007, 03:00:58 PM »

If he called and asked for one of every caliber he does not own it wouls be by now only a few!!!!!!!!!!!

borg1 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 02, 2007, 03:56:18 PM »
