I've got three:

Two current-production .45/70s (one a long barrel classic buffalo hunter type). Both used with scopes.

And one old H&R 12 Gauge cut to a 19.25 inch barrel to create a cylinder bore, used with slugs and buckshot. Equipped with rifle iron sights.

2 at the moment. Several others in the past. Who's keeping this thread count?

I get to add one more to mine, that's only three but I'm working on it. didn't plan to buy this but was going through Wally-World and they had H&R shotguns on sale for $127.00. I was gonna send my receiver in and have a 20GA barrel fit to it but I figured for the difference why not just buy the whole gun.... so I did

Good choice, you didnt really want to knock down a good shooting rifle to make a shotgun anyway, right?
The 20 is a nice walk-about gun, good weight & balance on mine for the payload. Yeah, its not a classic British double, but its a classic American single!

Add another one for me, too, an old H&R 410.

Add 1 to the tally, I Picked up a CR45 this morning. I dont why I waited so long, brings my total to 8 complete 3 extra barrels.

hhunter · « **Reply #517 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:39:00 PM »

Reckon you ought to put me down for 2.

I hope there is medication for this. Got to thinking 2 is one and 1 is none so....

I bought two identical guns in .308. Only thing different are the serial numbers. Love the fit, Love the form, and Love the price.

I must resist the .44 I hear calling. Now I just typed that about the .44 and saw it in word form. What to do now?

Hogs love 44 mags!

Natty Bumppo · « **Reply #519 on:** March 26, 2010, 11:18:11 AM »

Just one, a .38-55 Target Rifle. Had a BC, but didn't like the recoil and sold it to a friend.

Guys,

Sorry I have not kept up very good lately, but I have not been doing very well. Been getting on here every once and awhile but no energy to do much.

The doctor changed one med and increased another, and I have been starting to do much better. I will start catching up with this in the next few days.

Mike

Hey, NO worries! Do what you can as you can, glad you are feeling better!

spikehorn · « **Reply #522 on:** March 27, 2010, 10:40:07 AM »

Grampa mike glad to here you are doing better. Get to it when you are feeling up to it. Take care of yourself first

quickdtoo · « **Reply #523 on:** March 27, 2010, 10:44:05 AM »

Glad to hear the med change is helping Mike, hope you continue feel better.

Take time to heal. Take Care.

Handi Man · « **Reply #525 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:35:31 AM »

Three for me: 223 308 and 22 250

MEZJ96 · « **Reply #526 on:** March 31, 2010, 02:34:00 PM »

Just joined the H&R NEF group this past Christmas, so one for me.

12 Gauge Ultra Slug Hunter

Great gun and a lot of fun to shot. I just hope that NEF comes back with a huntsman muzzle loader barrel package. I was looking forward to buying that to go with it. I wonder if it is possible to buy a barrel from green mountain and have it made to work with the slug hunter.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #527 on:** March 31, 2010, 02:38:59 PM »

The 12ga USH can only be fitted with 10ga based barrels which have bigger chamber swells, standard barrels won't fit.

Tim

gcrank1 · « **Reply #528 on:** March 31, 2010, 03:29:21 PM »

The muzzle loader models turn up fairly regularly at decent prices, just buy the whole gun. You will be glad you did.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #529 on:** March 31, 2010, 03:32:42 PM »

There's a Sidekick in the H&R classifieds right now I think.

jackg from WNY I have one a 223 lt shoots great.

Ultra25-06 · « **Reply #531 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:51:34 AM »

Two here.

25-06 Ultra
30-30 Topper

Used to have a 30-06 Ultra and a 223 Survivor should have kept them. There will be a 6mmAI at some point.

bikerbeans · « **Reply #532 on:** April 04, 2010, 12:29:33 PM »

Update. I found that my barrels got lonely if they didn't have their own frame. Also, folks at the range get real nervous when you are shooting a Handi 30-06 that is wearing a 4 powder Horton Crossbow scope. All extra barrels have been sold to GBO members and I bought 2 more SB2s and am acquiring decent optics for my;

223
22-250
30-06
(2) 45 70s ( one to become a shorty in the not too distant future)

I have sold (2) 22 Hornet barrels and (2) 30-30 Win barrels and (1) 45 70 barrel. I hope the sale of these coveted barrels doesn't result in the loss of my Handiholic status.

UPDATE: 05 April 2010 @ 1612

586 Handi-Holics.

2,130 Complete Guns.

288 Extra Barrels.

14 Extra Frames.

3.8 per Handi-Holic

Updated Handi-holic-ism Level Chart:

1 Intern Handi-holic
4 Average Handi-holic
9 Journeyman Handi-holic
14 Senior Handi-holic
19 Master Handi-holic

28 Terminal NUTS Handi-holic!

57+ These guys are morphing into Handi-Gods!

Hey Guys, I think I am back. Hope things keep getting better, been losing weight and walking, things you do when your body starts failing you. I have too many grandkids and guns to shoot.

Been working on hard-cast load notes data for my Handi’s, really starting to love these hard-cast bullets.

Note: Please Handi-holics, even ones with only one Handi, we need your numbers (number of Handi-holics is more important than the Handi’s themselves, counting the guns is just fun). Besides we all started with just one Handi.

Tim can represent the NUMBER of handi-holics whenever he talks with anyone connected to the Company. It can’t hurt.

Mike, how many grandkids do you have to have before you start shooting them

GrampaMike · « **Reply #535 on:** April 05, 2010, 11:54:59 AM »

That just does not sound right!!!

bikerbeans · « **Reply #536 on:** April 05, 2010, 12:06:38 PM »

Grandpa Mike,

Glad to hear you are felling better. Hope your health continues to be on the up swing. Someone has got to spoil those grandkids and you sound like the gentleman to do it. If you need to spend all your time with the grandchildren, please send your Handis to me and I will exercise them for you.

So Mike.....which childhood are you in?
A little girl's teacher said,"draw a picture of where you live'.
She drew a small box, a medium size box around that, and a large box around them all.
Teacher asks," whats all this?"
Little girl says," the big box is my neighborhood, the next box is our home, and this one, the little one is my chilhood."
The wisdom of children......Works for me!
