I asked for an update today, hopefully Gary will have some good news.

Tim.....in your inquires, any conversation regarding brass?...... Honestly, I think the additional expense incurred for this would MORE than increase the aesthetic value to the rifle....OR....what about case hardening?

Could that be done?

I just called and talked to Gary, they don't offer anything in brass in their other products, but he said he'd certainly consider brass too. Their prototype machines are tied up now and have been for quite some time trying to keep up with normal business, he said it shouldn't be too long before he can put a man on the machine making the TG and spacers for us, then he'll determine a selling price depending on the labor involved in making them. He also said other businesses had called him asking when these would be available, so he knows there's a retail market for them besides us Handiholics!!

Tim that is great news, and that there is at least a consideration re: brass leads me to hope.

... I honestly think if they were available they would sell......man can you see a BC or a TC in brass!!!!!......sweeeeeet! Thanks for doing all the "leg" work. Jim.

Here's a little teaser as to what it'll look like, hopefully a better fit tho.

Tim, I too thank you for your efforts in this endeavor. I have steel on about half of my HRs and I would like to add to that total. Again, Thank You for the effort.

db22 · « **Reply #128 on:** January 06, 2009, 11:24:24 AM »

I must add my gratitude to Tim for the time and effort he has devoted to this project. My ought-six Handi sure will be purdy with polished & blued steel furniture, and the brass parts trigger thoughts of a .30-30 or .45-70. Guess I'll be trolling the used-gun racks for yet another Handi before too long . . .

I'd buy brass at 70 a set.

I probably wouldn't want to spend that much if they were steel.

AtlLaw · « **Reply #130 on:** January 07, 2009, 07:28:41 AM »

Oops, sorry,

my bad!

haven't responded...
I'd buy at least one set. Let me go vote.

Nevermind... I see I did vote... $:-\$
I hate being senile...

The blued steel set from H&R when they made them was $70, they sold them all, so it's not a bad price considering they didn't require any finishing, sometimes a little adjustment for fit.

From what I've seen, steel at 70 a set would fly off the shelves.
I don't know that I would buy the steel, as the brass would be more for aesthetics than functionality.
I assume I would have to use my BC as a war club to worry about breaking the plasic triggerguard. that is some stout plastic!!

brennemanj83 · « **Reply #136 on:** January 14, 2009, 07:21:22 PM »

any word on these yet?

kansasj · « **Reply #137 on:** January 30, 2009, 11:33:41 AM »

Brass would be nice but steel will do- count me in!!

Buster95 · « **Reply #138 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:59:54 PM »

I just ordered a BC so if the trigger guard that came with the rifle is plastic I prefer a steel one so count me in too.

gldprimr · « **Reply #139 on:** February 05, 2009, 03:57:26 PM »

I'd go for a set in blued steel, preferably a matte finish. $70 range is acceptable - I do not want to have to finish fit or blue them if possible.

seafox · « **Reply #140 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:14:17 AM »

I'd surely buy a set made of brass. Price does matter to me so fewer $ would be nice.

Buster95 · « **Reply #141 on:** February 21, 2009, 03:58:42 AM »

Any news?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #142 on:** February 21, 2009, 04:50:21 AM »

My last Handi I had retro fitted with the factory steel guard and spacer.It was PERFECT. I'd pay $ 100 for a set like that for my new .223! I'm old school when it comes to guns, steel and walnut ( or nice fiddleback maple) thank you very much!

kansasj · « **Reply #145 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:57:32 AM »

You guys that are still waiting are probably as well off as I am. I ordered (paid) for a brass spacer from Moyers two weeks ago and cannot get them to even return an e-mail on the status of that order----guess I learned a lesson about Moyers

truckysm · « **Reply #146 on:** March 04, 2009, 06:17:04 AM »

I ordered a brass set and recieved it in the mail 3 days latter? I found it easy to fit. Not perfect but easily fits as well as the plastic pieces I took off.

From what I read here I guess I'm the lucky one. Should have instead bought a lottery ticket.

udtjim · « **Reply #147 on:** March 06, 2009, 01:43:47 PM »

I would be interested in blued ones but 40.00 would be my limit.

I must add that the 70-100 may not be unreasonable but many of us buy these rifles because of their low cost and that is a pretty high percentage jump in price. Many would have to have them installed as well. Just my thoughts.

My thanks to those doing the leg work.

DCmauser · « **Reply #148 on:** March 07, 2009, 02:04:59 PM »

I am a newbie, and almost ordered two (2) L'cheapo sets of both blue and brass, unitil I searched here at GBO. So much more to read!

Out-of-box fit is more important than colour. I would not mind medium rock-tumbled texture. Sometimes I tumble brass castings with a few cup-fulls of small #10 nickel chromium alloy steel (stainless) screws for a slightly-grey antique finish. Steel may have better strength and reliability. There are many brass and/or bronze alloys, red, yellow, leaded, unleaded, naval, etc.. I have also heard of a black-oxide finish brass. I don't like an aluminum-steel dissimilar metals arrangement though. How much to spend upon a $448.68 BC-1871 - hmmn? - it would still be hundreds less than a Remington-Marlin and almost thousand less than USRA-BAC-Miroku.
There should be an advertising-disclosure law about using plastic parts.

beebzbarn · « **Reply #149 on:** March 09, 2009, 02:33:40 PM »

I'd take a set right away.brass would sure be nice..

Poll

Are you interested in metal TG and spacers at a cost of $70-$100?
