HELLO ALL!
« on: October 08, 2008, 06:49:55 PM »
Hello all!  First off I am posting up in the NEF forum because this is the one I will probably be frequenting, I bought one of these buggers and now they are in my BLOOD!  My name is Ray from western NY and love shooting.  I like to hunt but I live in the suburbs and dont have many hunting oppertunities so if you know of anyone in wester NY LET ME KNOW!  Anyways here is what I got.

H&R Handi rifle in .223.  Junky scope I know, I haven't had time to get a goo done on there.




1945 MALTBY factory lee enfield,  My favorite gun by far.  Shoots like a dream.


Savage R9317-F PRE-Accutrigger but it still shoots great and it was a steal at the price.





Nagant M44 1945.  This pic is pre-recoil pad, what can I say it was kicking my butt when I wore just a T-Shirt.

Welcome to GBO. There is every thing here if you like hunting or shooting. Real nice folks too. If you have any questions about your Handi read the FAQ. There is a lot of information there, more than any where else I know of. Good Luck and Good Shooting
Great men have vision and resolve to make dreams come true.

Hi, and welcome.  The Handi's are like Tater chips, can't have just one.  But until things smooth out, just buy another, don't send one in for other barrels just yet.  Just my opinion.  DP

Handi's:22Shot, 22LR, 2-22Mag, 22Hornet, 5-223, 2-357Max, 44 mag, 2-45LC, 7-30 Waters, 7mm-08, 280, 25-06, 30-30, 30-30AI, 444Marlin, 45-70, AND 2-38-55s, 158 Topper 22 Hornet/20ga. combo;  Levers-Marlins:Two 357's, 44 mag, 4-30-30s, RC-Glenfields 36G-30A & XLR, 3-35 Rem, M-375, 2-444P's, 444SS, 308 MX, 338Marlin MXLR, 38-55 CB, 45-70 GS, XS7 22-250 and 7mm08;  BLR's:7mm08, 358Win;  Rossi: 3-357mag, 44mag, 2-454 Casull; Winchesters: 7-30 Waters, 45Colt Trapper; Bolt actions, too many;  22's, way too many.  Who says it's an addiction?

Welcome.
Of course you know that yard work, house work, talking with your wife, and just about everything else are now on the back burner once you've entered Graybeard's
Enjoy the site and the community.

PS, take the recoil pad off the Mosin.  They're supposed to hurt.  It reminds you that you that you were out shooting  ;)
