I see they have been done. How do they shoot?

Just like every other Handi in the world, some shoot and some don't.  Larry

From OK to wow! Mine is looking like a wow. Larry is the guy to talk to. Mine started out as a HM2.  I would add that mine is a Fireball. Less powder, less recoil, easier on the barrel.

Moorepower has some very interesting observations on the accuracy issues with Handi rifles.  I had missed some of these, but I think he may be spot on with most of them.  Larry
