Handi Rilfe with short barrel....
« on: March 15, 2008, 08:14:51 AM »
Here is my Handi Rifle with the barrel chopped down to the minimal legal lenght (18 inch)

The other rifle is the longest one I own, a 37 inch Weihrauch pellet rifle.

Each part is just 19 inch long and the rifle fits into almost any size of rucksack.

Here is the muzzle with its new cut crown and moved sight.

The barrel have a new blueing and its much better finish then the old one.

A handy little Handi Rifle that will act as a backup rifle for long range varmints when out hunting deer with my short range bigbore (44 mag Win 94).

J. S.

Great job , i like it , short , light and easy to carry . Is it your 22 Hornet ? Should make a wonderful pack gun for varmints up to fox size with no problem .

And yes a range report is a must .  ;)

Nice job! I just had my .357 cut down (see .357 thread) myself. Makes a great compact camp gun.

I like the straight grip stock on yours too.

Thanks, Tim - I will be back...

BTW - I got myself one of those lever actions too, It became a Winchester 94 in 44 Mag..

Its the same 22 Hornet that I had some accuracy problems with before, I am very curious on if this new crown will solve the problem..
