Which direction does The rear sight tap off on the 45 Colt carbine?

I don't think it matters Larry, mine was so loose I just pushed it out with my finger!!

Thank ya..............I'll give it a try, though I did manage to dig up a scope that just cleared the rear sight and hammer.........had a red dot on it, but got curious to see how good of groups it will shoot. I love the carbine..........any other Handi's that handy? I know my 30-30 isn't

I'm workin on a 260 Remington Superlight in the new style synthetic stock, it should weigh about 6¾lbs with 3-9x40 scope, Wayne is reboring a 243 Superlight barrel for me.

My 5 lb. (with 3-9x32 scope) 32-20 is pretty handy.

Spanky, where did you get a 32-20 Handi? Is that a custom job or did H&R once make 32-20's? Have I missed the boat here?

My 32-20 is a "Trotter Special"

Uhh, you're gonna have to help me on that one. Is that a custom thing or is that an old version of a Handi like the "topper" etc?

My barrel was a stub project. There are a few of 'em floating around here now.
the 32-20 is a natural for the Handi. It shoots great.
This thread shows my barrel being made.

Ahh yes, I DO recall seeing that thread now. I wondered who ended up with that barrel. I would LOVE to have a Handi or classic carbine in that caliber. I don't know why it was never made. I would think that they would have made one from the start a long time ago.

I would love a 327 Federal Carbine......................
