Handi barrel marking oddity
« on: January 17, 2011, 03:23:14 PM »
Hi All,

Looked at a new 25-06 pallet wood Handi @ Bass Pro yesterday.  First off it was on display and the stock was trashed but what caught my attention was the barrel was stamped 25-06 but had no other stampings on the left side of the chamber,  unlike everyother CF handi barrel I have.  Also, I opened the gun to look an see if the barrel underlug numbers matched the frame numbers and the only markings scribed on the lug was a capital "D".  The frame was a "Y" so one the last of the Mass. guns I believe.  I decided not to try and talk them down on price because of the beatup stock and let the gun stay put.  If they couldn't stamp the barrel or mark the underlog properly who knows what else was wrong with it, but a 26" barrel handi looks cool. ::)

Not sure when that barrel was made or where but it seems that all the new barrels are stamped that way.
I have seen several with nothing but the caliber stamping.
Nothing at all about being a Ultra or SB1 or SB2 or anything.
Who know what big green is up to anymore!
