Hey guys, first of all I'd like to say this site is amazing. It's probably the greatest knowledge base on handi rifles I've ever seen. Now for my question, for Christmas this year, I'd like to buy my grandfather a handi rifle chambered in .35 Remington because these are legal in MS primitive weapons seasons. However, after looking around, I can't find where H & R even manufactures new handi rifles in this caliber.
So, I got to thinking, I have a 2 year old handi rifle chambered in .35 Whelen. If I could somehow get a barrel chambered in .35 Remington that would fit my rifle, I would just swap them out and give him my rifle then find another frame for my Whelen barrel later.
Do you guys know of anywhere that I could either purchase a new/used .35 Remington handi rifle or where I could get just a .35 Remington barrel to fit my receiver? Thanks for any help.
