Seems to be a little pricey though.

Six different bidders.....someone doesn't think so.

garbhead · « **Reply #2 on:** January 26, 2013, 12:46:36 AM »

$202 this morning....mine may have to disappear....unreal...maybe H&R will see this and start making them again....

YRUpunting? · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2013, 03:10:46 AM »

Yikes! $220 with shipping, 8 bidders and 7 days to go?

A new 22lr Sportster runs about $195 OTD at my local shop.

What's your theory on what is driving the price? Is it the "winning" aspect of auctions? I have both a VP and Sportster and I don't get why the barrel is selling for more than a new rifle.

I don't get it either but you see it all the time. H&R rifle at shotgun barrels only selling for as much or more than what an entire new gun cost. If I decide I want a new rifle or shoty barrel I start cruising the pawn shops for used H&Rs. I generally find an entire gun for half or better than what these guys are laying for just a barrel.

Versa Pack. Its a 22lr with an offset bore that fits a standard receiver. They were discontinued several years ago.

YRUpunting:

Thanks. I kind of remember those now that you mention it.

I recently sold a new condition one to a member here for $100. Maybe I should contact him to see if he wants a refund on the ol' junker.

YRUpunting? · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2013, 11:18:41 AM »

Up to $275 with shipping.

10 bidders and 4 days to go!

geezerbiker · « **Reply #10 on:** January 29, 2013, 09:07:11 PM »

I'd like one but for that price, I would expect to get the whole rifle...

gcrank1 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 30, 2013, 08:44:20 AM »

Gotta wonder how many of those bidders cant really read and think it IS the whole rifle............

OldSchoolRanger · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2013, 08:35:10 PM »

And the winning bid is:........................................$305.00 plus 23.95 for shipping!

Who would have thought, that? Guess, my VP package went up in value.

This is better than buying stocks.

YRUpunting? · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:07:19 AM »

From this auction it appears the 22lr VP barrel is now worth more (a lot more) than a complete original gun. I hope this barrel was some kind of fluke.

Further proof that there's an idiot born every minute... or in this case a few idiots. I can't believe how stupid some folks are. The whole combo used to be sold at Wally World for $117 bucks with the case.

I know, I know... they're rare as hen's teeth.

Kinda' tempted to list mine. I can get a new Sportster for $159.00....

Spanky · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:02:44 PM »

I sold a VP .22 barrel a while back for $85 bucks shipped... I think that's a fair price for what they are. One of my buddies just got a Handi trio (22lr, 243, 20ga) with a case for $200 bucks. Seems like a fair price for a trio. He's looking for a 357 or 44 barrel to go with it... should make it even more versatile.

I recently bought a full VP on a Survior stock set, 22mag-conv, .410, from a member here... THANK YOU!!!... for $250.00. It was a stretch for me and my meager finances, but it was my Christmas present to me...

I knew it was a good deal. This price on e---. is totally unreal. No, I will not be selling my .22 mag barrel. LOL.... Bobby

PHATINJUN · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2013, 06:57:32 AM »

I would think that would make my 17HMR Versa Pack worth a $1000 as it seems to be the only one that ever made it to market. Kurt

Dinny · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2013, 02:26:20 PM »

I just got a VP a few months back from someone on here. I shot it today right into a fat old armadillo that was threatening to give me leprosy. I just barely got away.

Great little rifle that will stay in my safe for many years to come. I agree though, at that price, they must have become rare as a hen's tooth.

Thanks, Dinny

I have a swap barel combo set with .410 and .22 K-Hornet barrels... I would love to find a VP LR barrel to put with it... we use these when we pack in for moose bowhunting... the gun is for birds/bunnies & Wil.E Coyote...

hoytcannon - You just missed a 22LR VP barrel in the classifieds.

I don't get it. There is a 410 barrel on there for 102 now and a day or two left. Why have we not put all of our barrels on here and retired!

gcrank1 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2013, 08:12:39 AM »

Well, Im in it for 'the long haul' (as the investment advisors all seem to say we should do); apparently there's gold in them thar barrels!

ousooners1baby · « **Reply #24 on:** March 27, 2013, 08:17:52 AM »

So you're in the guaranteed stocks?

As always, any projected growth may not represent your individual experience

There's also another one on ebay I am watching...was only around $100 yesterday

YRUpunting? · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:58:08 AM »

There's actually two on ebay right now. The one around $100 has hit $127 the other one is a buy now at $285.

garbhead · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2013, 03:50:59 AM »

The $285 one looks like the ejector tip is broken, so it may not even eject. I notice the ejector tip ever since I unknowingly sold one that had broken tip to another member on here....

garb,
Not to worry. That problem was taken care of by Brian.
