bought a used receiver today
« on: July 15, 2007, 04:14:31 PM »
I just won an auction on Gunbroker for a 2005 Handi receiver. It will cost me $80 for including shipping and my FFL. Is that a fair price? I wanted to have a receiver for all three of my barrels. I just need to go over to the classifieds and list for a palletwood forearm since I already have a stock. I see an auction on Gunbroker fairly regularly for Handi receivers. This just caught me in the mood to go ahead and bid on on. Charlie

Charlie. That's funny I have been watching the same one there for a couple days. It might be a little high but Quick could tell you for sure. I think he has bought a few there. I have recently been hooked to that site and see myself doing some real bidding there.    Dale

Not a bad price, just make sure it's an SB2 if it's for a rifle barrel. ;) I've never bought anything on GB, never even registered there.

Most of em right here at GBO in the NEF Classifieds, I've bought a couple complete rifles at other classifieds, but never from an auction site. ;D

It's an SB2 second serial # of V so it is a 2005 model. Would that be ejector or extractor? I think I will be happier with a receiver/stock set up for all 3 of my barrels. I know most people don't have a problem but there is a tinge of doubt in my mind about pulling the trigger on one if I haven't had time to shoot a "confidence" round between barrel changes. Charlie

The receiver has nothing to do with ejector or extractor. It a function of the barrel. The receiver will shoot either. ;D

"V" is about as late on a reciever as I would go because of the extra hole being added in '06. Sight hole or some such thing, boils down to an extra hole and I just don't like the looks of 'em.  :P
Extractor or ejector, no matter as long as your barrel has a nice tight lock up with the forearm on. You can even change forearms around to achieve this. Ideally you want a tight lockup without the forearm but the forearm will aid in tightening one up. Which barrel are you gonna try to fit to this one? Was that $80 plus shipping and an FFL fee? Hope not, that'd be a little steep I'd think. Give me a shout by email or phone and I'll put you onto a $10 FFL if that would help.

Charlie,

I took that as shipping and FFL included in the $80, if so, that's a darn good price.

Just because they say it's an SB2, doesn't mean it is, without at least inspecting it, the only sure way to know is check with H&R, since you have the serial number, a free call is all it would take.

As far as the latch engagement view port that John doesn't care for, that's purely cosmetic, most people aren't even gonna notice it, I have 2 or 3 of em, doesn't bother me in the least.  ;)

Yeah that was $80 into my hands. Thanks John on the offer for the FFL. I have been using A&W Pawn just outside of town for my last few gunbroker guns. I like Wayne there so I think I will use him. He only charges $15. I will be mounting my 7mm 08 on this receiver if I can get a good fit right away which will leave my Ultra set up for my 243 bull. Charlie
