NEf .223
« on: December 10, 2004, 03:16:51 AM »
Have enjoyed reading the past few weeks, but this will be first posting for me and have a ?? about a .223 I saw yesterday. Am looking at my first purchase of any nef gun/handi gun, and while at Gander Mountain yesterday, they showed me one in a .223. Had a 22" bull barrell and nice wood stock/arm. Good looking gun. But what was different about it was that the forearm was the length of the barrel,and it had a front sight on it. haven't seen this style before on any others I've seen. Just wondering if this was an oddity, or was common on other models. i believe it was the varmit model. Taz

Welcome Aboard tazimna :D

Wow...I've never seen one set up like that...especially a bull barrel with rifle sites and a Mannlicher forearm...I'd buy it...it would be a great one to start out with...is it drilled and tapped for a scope base?????

tazimna, First of all, welcome aboard...now the .223, need a little more info please. was it a new or used gun? What 2 letters did the serial number start with? With these letter it is possible to tell what year the gun was manufactured in. Check the FAQ's for that info and a list of manufacture dates. It may have been a special run if new. There used to be full length Mannlicher style forearms available and it may have been added it this is a used gun, if not it may be a new unannounced offering or an oddity, sounds nice!!....Let us know and keep us informed...How much were they asking for it?....<><.... :grin:

I should have paid more attention to the serial #'s. for some reason SB2 sticks in my mind though. It is a used gun and I knew the gal that brought it in. I called here alittle while ago, said she's unloading some guns since he passed on recently. Hubby bought it a couple years back she thought, but didn't shoot it much due to failing health(only 12 out of original box shot through). Anyway, she's kind of gun clueless, Gander mtn paid her $140 for it. They have it listed now for $185, but my brother works there, so I can get it 30% off that. Seems like a nice gun and reasonable price for what little I know about NEF's. Any other input is appreciated. ....They also had a handi in the .204, but it has the shorter stock. Any input on this gun good or bad? Thanks, Taz

Taz- sounds like you have a good deal there with the Bro... Keep an eye open for me on deals like that one.  I think it would have been a heck of a buy, and rare.  It would have looked cool even on the wall. TheJanitor
 :roll:  Sorry every body.... I work with Taz and he told me about the site and I was giving him a little grief. I thought the gun sounded very cool. I have been a reloader since middle school in the 80's and have several types of guns and calibers, but only one H&R single
I enjoy reloading but never "experamint" & I rarely even work up to "max" so When I read other peoples loads I always scramble for a manual to check it out. Thanks Brent
