in a project gun or a youth gun for a kid? my youth pardner is, now that i use it a little more, too small for me. i would like the longer barrel of the normal pardner model. its a 20 gauge modified choke, btw.

i only want 50 bucks out of it...it has the 22" barrel and is in great shape. the only flaw is the barrel's finish. i painted it with black rustoleum so i could hunt in the rain and not worry about it....and i never have gotten it out in the woods yet anyway lol.

i am curious as to how many of you might want a project sulg gun or something. let me know.

Hi mjbgalt, I am interested in the gun as I help with a Hunter Safety program and it sounds like a good trainer gun. Send me a personal message and we can work out the details.

MSP Ret, Has there ever been an H&R gun for sale here that you were not interested in? How many do you have now. How many boxes full of stocks & barrels , ??

Rogmatt, currentlyI have a couple of extra stock sets, one of which is a laminated straight shotgun stock and matching forearm along with a shotgun stock set which has spring loaded shell storage built into the buttstock which I am thinking of parting with, I also have my original stock set from my first Handi (45/70). The straight laminated stock is in need of a receiver to attach it to and am still actively looking for a 30-30 barrel and think I may have a .410 barrel for it soon. It would be a great set up for Maine partridge, straight stock, 20 AND .410 barrel!!! (perhaps you have a 30-30 barrel you might be willing to sell?). The extra barrels I have been able to obtain that are not designated for a specific "project gun" I have sold to other members here for just what they cost me and if more become available as a bulk purchase I will buy them and pass them on to those who have already expressed a desire for certian gauge barrels. My hope now is for the last of those that I have sent barrels out to to pay for them!!! I will continue to attempt to pass on any deals I may come across because I am sure the actions of one here does not reflect on the many fine members of this forum. As far a receivers go I have 4 and want more...I also have 6 extra barrels which I enjoy tremendously. I sincerely hope you enjoy shooting and working on your handi's and pardners as much as I do working on mine, isn't the work we do on these inexpensive little "project guns" tremendous fun!!! I have introduced neighbors to these little guns and we shoot together here at home, they are now also adding barrels!!!. I have also introduced friends in Northern Maine to them as well and now we all hunt coyotes together with similar .22 mag Sportsters, I say similar because we each have ours set up a bit differently. Thanks to stock swaps and purchases here I have mine set up with a survivor stock and storarm forearm. One friend has a set of wooden stocks which I swapped with a member here for the original synthetics which I know have since been sent on to another member here!!! The third of our coyote/Sportster group in Maine has opted to use the original synthetic set. Yes, I do enjoy swapping, selling, buying and "project gun" work with these little guns...Thanks for noticing, and by the way, do you have that 30-30 barrel I am looking for....<><.... :grin:

P.S. - Rogmatt, I have passed on more than I have bought or "expressd a interest" in and some still bother me. Regretfully with a big project starting here at home and an unforseen funding change much of my purchasing is going to have to be curtailed in the future, starting next Monday!!! Oh well, all good things must come to an end, or at least slow downl!!!....<><.... :roll:

Remember, vote Republican and save our great country from ruin and damnation!!!....<><.... :grin:

MSP Ret, Great post!! sorry I don't have the 30- 30 barrel. I also hope whoever owes you money will pay you. Dishonesty among us can hurt future transactions with the rest of us being unwilling to trust .

Thanks buddy, and by the way I would still like to get a Sportster in .22 LR to shoot Colibris, .22 CB's and .22 shorts out of and a .17 Mach 2 when they become available, help me, I can't stop!!!....<><.... :-D

thanks,

OK Matt, I sent you a PM with name and address and such (USPS Priority Mail?)....<><.... :grin:

i bought another parnder tonight at wal mart. even though it was kind of a pain (my address on my drivers license doesnt match my current address, and they worried about it until i had to get my truck registration from my truck for proof of address), i am happy with the shot gun though. it seems things have changed at H&R lately. i knew marlin took over and everything, but this shotgun is very different from the two previous ones i have owned/shot. the buttplate says "H&R 1871", not the NEF one. it also has a different barrel...its "fatter" than the other 20 gauge i had. the forend is a different shape (sadly, they got rid of the cool little flare on the end), and the gun overall seems to be of higher quality (things fit tighter and are better finished).

overall i am pleased and i think i will be adding a 16 gauge barrel and maybe a slug barrel if this one wont pattern decently.

by the way, i interchanged the barrels and forends on my two pardners and i see why they want us to send em in for new barrels rather than buying em from each other. they didnt quite fit each other as tightly, and i could feel a slight wobble when i put downward pressure on the new reciver with the old barrel on it. just a thought....

also, i got some really nice furniture on this one....lots of swirls and woodgrain. man i think if i can get a topper deluxe classic barrel for this, i might not get my 870 out of the safe for a while lol.

I sent one back to you Brett, nothing at this end....<><.... :grin:

mjbgalt, now that you know how simple it is to exchange stocks, if you want to keep that 20 gauge and set it up as a dedicated slug gun it's OK with me. Just let me know your decision and do what's best for you OK?.
If you still want to go through with the deal thats fine, perhaps we could discuss the possibility of the inclusion (for an addittional payment of course) of the stocks that are being replaced by the new set of non MonteCarlo synthetics with a recoil pad. That would be great for me if it can be worked out. Think about it and send me an e-mail....<><.... :grin:
