DO YOU BELIEVE THIS
« on: December 08, 2006, 03:44:14 PM »
I just checked ebay. There is a 223 barrel on there with an hour left and the bid is $200.00+10.00. I own 26 complete H&R/NEF Ultras, Handis, Huntsmans, and others. Out of the 26, I have that much money in only 4. They are the 7X57, 357 Max, 444 Marlin, and the 35 Whelan RMEF. Maybe I should sell some barrels on ebay. I certainally don't want to buy any from there.......

I've only bought one barrel on ebay, a .30-30 that I paid $110 for when the factory was out of em 2 yrs ago, but I've sold several there, but none for that much!! I did bid on a .22 Jet barrel, but it went for way over $200, needless to say, I didn't bid anywhere near that amount. ::)

 I agree with Shaner, and you can get 2 barrels at the factory for just little more.

I have bought a couple of barrels on ebay but that was before it went crazy. I just bought another Handi 30-06 today. Complete rifle with a 3x9x40 scope and rings for less than what that barrel sold for. This rifle looks almost new....

I bought a 270 about a month ago, with 3X9 Trashco scope, sling, and 2 full boxes of Rem. ammo for $175 OTD.   Saw a 270 barrel go for $165 plus ship on ebay just a few days later.  I swear, I don't know what or if people are thinking.

Its a sellers market for anything Handi right now , people are just starting to learn what these great rifles can do . the down side is that is all they know , they have no clue about the acc. barrel program or the fact that you can buy a whole new rifle for that price , or just don't want to take the time to send them in .

I for one have thought about selling all my barrels and buying all new rifles with the money , but most of them shoot to well for that .  ;)

Sell the barrels , send the frames in for more barrels and use the extra money for a hunting trip and ammo .  ;D

they are going so high on ebay its hard to bring yourself to sell them here.  Really hard for me to ask ebay prices here.  Hopefully, people are not buying here and dumping on ebay for profit.

One guy has a 45/70 barrel that he says will fit a NEF ultra SB2 frame but will not fit any H&R frames

Sometimes you wonder .  ???  ???  ???

A word of caution about EBAY prices. Sometimes you see a item go completly off the chart . Makes you wonder if the seller has a friend or two bidding just to get the price up. ???

I watched a few barrels on ebay, then checked walmart. I could buy the whole rifle for $20 more, after adding shipping.  ???
