Looking at your bushing, it might be a good idea to cut a couple of notches 180* out from each other on the breach end so you can use a spanner to tighten it. It would also make it easier to remove the barrel if you shoot it out.

Good idea.  Like the retainer bushing on a pump shotgun's forend.

Trick will be firuring out where to put the cuts, remember he has to make a fairly large cut in that part for the ejector notch.  Larry

Dumb question...is there any advantage to Stubbing over Reboring? I know stubbing could be a do-it-yourself proposition whereas I doubt if the average Handiholic has equipment to rebore a new caliber. Just wondering...inquiring minds want to know! ;D

Stubbing opens these rifles up to all suitable calibers you can't get by re-boring.You have the option of many different makes of barrels and can have a perfect chamber as well...Want to have a tight neck..then cut it that way..want a tight chamber..it's yours..Want a 3 groove 28" barrel..buy it and have it done..GBO Sponsor Wayne York can either of these for you..all you have to do is pay for it.. ;)

I'll mill the ejector slot after everything is tight.  That rear bushing is 3/4" long so the the ejector slot cut
(about .125 deep) won't be an issue.
Try to look unimportant.   Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Only Handi so far is a 375 JDJ.
