Well... after much searching, waiting, and repetitive phone calls to the dealer I ordered it from.... it is finally here! My first Handi. .308 Survivor. My order which took 3 weeks longer than it was supposed to.. finally arrived.. and it looked like my rifle had sat in a saw mill.... soo.. wasn't too impressed with the customer service of the dealer... but either way. The gun is here now.. got it good and cleaned up.. scope mounted.. and will be firing it for the first time tomorrow! Which of course will determine how much tinkering it requires. So it doesn't look too original yet, but hopefully by the time I am done with it, it will have a look of its own. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow!
