I just ordered my first handi. A stainless synthetic 22-250 with a bull barrel. Hope that it shoots good. I was on the NEF website and said that the accessory barrel offer is only good in the U.S how could I get more barrels if I am in Canada?? Thanks guys, great informative site!

Unfortunately, you can't get an accessory barrel sent to Canada, H&R won't, period. Fred M is a Canadian and has given it much effort to no avail.

So i basically have to learn to fit a barrel myself then!

Afraid so, and a used barrel at that..... :cry: It's not hard to do if you are handy with hand tools, and a lot of em will fit without any changes.

Honay, Do you have a friend just south of your border within close driving distance from you who could ship & receive the gun for you? Would you be able to bring it acrcoss the boarder? It's not like you are getting a new gun, it's a gun you already own that you are just having work done on so I would think that it would be okay. What part of the Great White North are you in? Maybe someone from this forum who lives in a Northern state could help you out.

what you could do is the next time someone is sending theirs in give them the money and have them get the barrel for you . it will be a few month before i send mine in but when i do your welcome to give me an order or any of you other canada guys.

I live near Edmonton Alberta. So I am about 7 hours from the border. Soit would be a bit of a trek!
