Author Topic: How many different cals. in a handi? (Read 396 times)

Does anyone have a list of all the calibers ever offered in a Handi? I saw the other day someone talking about their 35 Whelen and a 7x57. Were these barells rechambered or did NEF acually offer these barrels at one time.

If anyone has a list of all calibers that have ever been offered in a Handi, then that would be great.

Thanks,

Welcome aboard!

The .35 Whelen and the 7x57 were both offered at one time and dropped as well as the 7x64 Breneke and 357 maxi. I'm sure there might be a few more that I don't know about, too, like the 22 Jet which I'm not sure about.

Yep...they were offered...like Quick said. as too was the 444..and if you find one...you better hang on to it...they are getting kinda of rare these days...I'm always hoping of walking into a gun dealer somewhere and finding a 7 X 57 ...one of these days...

Thanks for the reply,

But does anyone have a complete list?

There's a list of twist rates in the FAQ sticky at the top of the list, that's as close as I've seen other than the NEF wish list thread which you'll have to use the search function to find.
