I'm looking to get a .44 Mag Handi but not having much luck.

Anyone know what the availability of these are?  Are they out of production or just out of stock?


Or am I just out of luck.

Thanks SSS,

I just checked on that barrel, and it's already up to $81.00 plus $10.00 Shipping.  If it goes much higher, it's just as cheap to send my gun in to H&R and have them install one.

I'll have to keep an eye out on the sale.

Keep in mind the cost of a 44 mag barrel from H&R will be $117 incl shipping both ways. Also, you might check with H&R to see if they have any 44 mag barrels, they don't have all calibers in stock all the time as some of us have found out more than once. :cry:

Checked with them this morning, they do have the .44 barrels in stock.

I had let slip the cost to ship to them, so I'll factor that in too.

The plus side is I know that if it's fit by them, it'll work.  I'm mostly certain a purchased barrel will work, but there's always that shadow of doubt.  That, and I've lost money in an ebay rip off before, so I'm always a little bit hesitant.

I will watch it

That's a lot better than my story.  Got confirmation they received it on 12/1/03-waited the 4-6 weeks and started calling--they kept telling me I was first in line when they came in--I finally talked to a supervisor who said the production was scheduled for MARCH--did I want to wait or get another barrel--I picked up the 44 on 5/1/04--End result = well worth the wait--love it--under an inch and a half after break-in with the O-ring trick.  You will love it!!!

I've got a couple of those 44's in stock. If you get in a bind for one, let me know. I'll ship one to your dealer, drop me a PM if interested.

You really can get a kick outta those guys buying barrels from ebay.  First they are a crap shoot at best and then most people think they're bidding on a TC barrel(as far as price goes) and getting a good deal at $120.

More power to 'em. :-D

And that's exactly the reason you never saw me bid on it. I checked on it Saturday afternoon and it was over $90.00, and that's where my cutoff was.

I guess I'll be boxing up my rifle and shipping it off to NEF after the holidays to have a new barrel fitted for $117.00 (including shipping both ways)

All most all the things I bought were junk. about only thing I got
 was a fore arm for a H&R. So I quit even looking on e-bay.
 Very disappointed in all I got. Marv.
