I'm fairly new to the forum.
I actually stumbled upon it while researching a little info on my own first Handi Rifle. It's a .308 w/ heavy barrel. I just added the scope. Haven't had a chance to sight it in and test it's accuracy yet.

I've added two complete rifles, a .30-30 and a 7.62x39, plus two spare frames and I have a .38-55 18 inch barrel coming soon from Tim which will minus one frame and add one complete rifle.

Delete the 410 smoothbore youth slug gun and add a 444 Marlin.

AtlLaw · « **Reply #634 on:** September 09, 2010, 11:50:12 AM »

Well...

add one extra 30/30 barrel....

But really! this is it! I mean it this time! the last! no more...

unless maybe if the barrel won't lock up on my original old 30/30 frame... All my other barrels have dedicated frames and my original Handi from sometime in the 70's was it, maybe early 80's $:-\$ i can't remember...

anyway, it's my 45/70 and .410 and I want the 30/30 to fit it... don't need another receiver... nope, sure don't ...

couple of extra forearms maybe but no more barrels or recievers...

I have a .243 Ultra Varmint Fluted and absolutely love it. I've drilled more than a few prairie dog heads with it and it's going to be sent in soon to have a heavy .223 barrel fitted for more economy on the closer shots. A fella can't spend any better money than on an H&R rifle.

I have but one 223 good shooter. Lou

UPDATE: 17 September 2010 @ 1516

781 Handi-Holics.

2,453 Complete Guns.

323 Extra Barrels.

14 Extra Frames.

3.3 per Handi-Holic

Updated Handi-holic-ism Level Chart:

1 Intern Handi-holic
3 Average Handi-holic
8 Journeyman Handi-holic
12 Senior Handi-holic
16 Master Handi-holic

25 Terminal NUTS Handi-holic!

50+ These guys are morphing into Handi-Gods!

Looks like this survey is slowing down… I know there must be more than 781 Handi Owners. I see strange names visiting us all the time. Don’t be shy … stand tall!!! And brag about your Handi’s. You know you want too.

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.

A 25 yr old 20 gauge, a 25-06 sb2-256, and soon to arrive, SB2-457(?) 45-70.

OR-E-Gun Bill · « **Reply #641 on:** September 22, 2010, 12:04:33 PM »

Added one more to my list today. This CR 45LC was delivered to the ranch by the USPS today. The box was a wee tad to long for the mailbox, so she had to drive it down to the house and hand deliver it.

A feller down in Southern Oregon had this one for sale on another online classified ad and since I didn't have any Handi Rifles in that caliber yet, well you know how it is...

And for the record, 3 of my previously counted orphan extra barrels are now complete rifles.

Glad to see I am only 1.2 above the average handi holic. Add a 45-70 barrel to my others.

xit · « **Reply #643 on:** October 05, 2010, 05:00:18 PM »

Another four here. An old topper 30/30, a 17hmr, a .22 hornet with 20 guage barrel, and a buffalo classic.

Papa Jack · « **Reply #644 on:** October 14, 2010, 10:14:06 AM »

Add 3 for me so far, and I'm looking for a 4th one.....I have 4 grandsons and plan to pass on a handi rifle with barrels to each of em....Papa Jack

LONGTOM · « **Reply #645 on:** October 14, 2010, 11:05:08 AM »

Heck, I have bought & sold and swaped so many that I don't even keep track anymore.
A barrel here, a frame there, swap this barrel for that one and sell the extra, who knows!!!
Well over 50 some I know.

Two youth model .243's for the kids and a ultra varmint thumbhole .243 for me, yes i like .243's. I also have a old huntsman .50cal muzzleloader. Can't say enough about these guns, every one of them shoots great!

I'm in the same boat!

I think I've had at least thirty of them since the sixties. Down to two, now, but I'm gonna pick up a 12 gauge for Modern Gun deer season next week (if it's still there) when I get my Ruger SR9c.

Our averages seem to be climbing a little.

Onthefarm: Welcome.

OR-E-Gun Bill: The 45 BC has got to be the cutest Handi (at least that is what DJ keeps telling me).

Thejanitor: now you are 1.6 above average.

Xit: Welcome.

Papa Jack: Better get some more, never know when another grandchild will come along.

LONGTOM: We have you over 54+. Hope you have enough ammo.

Cheapskate: That’s the spirit, over 20 is great.

HarryRichardson: Deer are pretty tough to get with that Ruger SR9c.

Texbell: Welcome.

Add another for me!!

I picked up a 2005 H&R Electroless Nickle 223 Bull barrel.

The previous owner was shooting it and said it "stopped working". He stuck it in the cabinet and forgot about it. Took it out and it didn't work so he sold it cheap. I grabbed it up!! I got it home and took it apart and found a broken tip on the firing pin. I replaced it with one form my parts drawer, primed up a couple bases and they when bang. I cleaned the barrel. MAN was it dirty!!! I was back in business!! It's even got a nice trigger and the condition of the gun is a solid 95%. It's wearing a set of Monte Carlo green/gray, pallet wood stocks with a good amount of fiddle back grain and its even got checkering. It had a couple scratches and finish imperfections. I cleaned then and stained the bare wood. I mounted up a small 4X scope for accuracy testing.

Nice 223! Don't think I have ever seen a scope with both mounts in the front before.

That will depend on manufacturer date! IIRC, mine is a '05 and Nickle plate.
