My "new" Handi

[rc51kid]

Look what the brown truck brought to me today! I sent in the receiver about 2 weeks ago and already have it back. A nice new .357 barrel! For some reason i didnt expect the scope mount on it, a nice suprise. But what is even better was the forarm. I only sent in a stock and it came back with a NEW  forarm and MY stock. is that normal for the forarm to come with the barrel? I just mounted up the Ultra dot and i think it will work great. It sits about as low as i can get it in some low mount Burris rings. If anyone knows of any lower rings let me know. No issues with clearing the hammer on this one. All i need now is to get it off to my smith for a cut and thread at 16". Then i will be waiting for the ATF to approve my Octane 9!

Congrats!! Weaver top mounts, Leupold Rifleman as well as some Millett aluminum rings are a bit lower, Midway lists ring heights for comparison. Burris used to make extra low Zee rings, but they discontinued them. 

Forends don't normally come with accessory barrels except for some like the Huntsman barrels, they have to install a forend when doing the test firing, may have just forgot and left it on..... or Brian did had a hand in it! 

Be sure to post in the Ilion Satisfaction Poll so folks can stay up to date on turn around time.

Thx,
