Hello MSP Ret:
That's a very kind offer!! I might want to take you up on it sometime. I live about 60 miles east of Toronto. I wouldn't want to end up on the wrong side of our laws though. Our laws regarding guns are pretty restrictive with stiff fines and even mandatory prison time for some offenses.
I must tell you though as a 'budding handiholic' I sure envy your ability to get extra barrels. It's really a great feature of NEF rifles. And it's not just the cost of buying a new frame: the availability of Handi's is thin. The one I just got I had shipped from ALBERTA because none of the gun stores around here stock them. Wally World doesn't sell ANY guns at all. Even Canadian Tire is out of the gun business. It's all the paper work with registration I guess.
Thanks Again
McLernon
