At that price, I'd rather buy an all new rifle. A new .35 Wheelen is only $264 from Bud's...

I've got a real good feelin' that the seller is one of the good guys. ;)  In fact I'd be willin' to bet he's got more into it than the "buy it now" price. The way I understand it... Mr. White's work is top notch but don't come cheap.
 
Glad to have you home Dinny. :)

I saw that on there and knew it was one spoken of before! it is one i'd like to have someday, but out of my price range for now.
 
It would be a shame to get it to find out it wouldn't fit on my frame. One of those "now what" moments.

Spanky,
  You're right! ;) I'm hoping there's someone out there that wants the same thing without the yearlong wait.

Being walnut, it could look even better with a different finish on it someday. ;)

Dinny,
I've been "watching" that listing for a couple of days now.  Only so that when it sells I can congradulate the seller. ;) ;D

Thanks RJ! There's one known "watcher". I think a few of you hit the "add to watchlist" button after you saw my post here, the number is rising ;D

It does look nice.  To pricey for me.  I have learned over the years you want to be the one buying the custom stuff from the guy who ordered the custom stuff.  The guy that ordered it usually takes it in the shorts.  :o

Looks to me the 6x284 barrel @ $128 is the one to watch.  If that sells for the basic price of an accessory barrel the rechamber will be a freebie.

 Dinny,   I looked at you listing and would offer this advice,    Information is a big deal,  The more the better.  I would not think many potential buyers would know what or who D & T is.
Also any infomation on what barrel blank was used, rate of twist ect. All those things I would want to know if bidding on a custom barrel.

I wish! It will be a long time before I'm good enough to do that.

I have a solution for that. ;) Buy it and I'll share my secret. ;D

One thing I've noticed on Ebay is the items with every iteration of NEF or H&R for key words in searching get the most bids.  I would include NEF, New England Firearms, H&R, Harrington and Richardson, Handi Rifle, Handy Rifle, NEF gun parts, NEF Barrel, H&R Barrel, NEF stock, H&R stock,etc.  How you have it is going to miss a lot of traffic.

Thanks, Dinny


for $650, I got TWO 35W TMD

BUT, they are NOT custom rigs by D&T!

The only other issue I see with the Ad in general, is the HSA won't let you guys ship barrels north of the border without a big hassle of paper work and fees!

Good Luck on that.

do you have any "Bragging" Groups to show?
