new hornet barrel
« on: October 05, 2005, 11:00:41 AM »
I just got my .22 hornet barrel from NEF.  It really looks super!  It is a lot better blue job than my 30-30 barrel.  Im really impressed with how smooth the barrel is...the 30-30 barrel I have looks like the feed on the lathe was way too fast, very rough (much like my sidekick).  Ive been calling NEF every other day (they are really nice and must be some sick of hearing from me) because Im going moose hunting with my brother this weekend and wanted to take the hornet with me to play with!  They did a super job and got the rifle to me with 2 days to spare.  VERY pleased with everything from NEF and look forward to trying out my hornet.  What a country!  Send a gun in and get a new barrel/caliber for 87.00!  Ya gotta love it!

:D I can't help but be curious, is the barrel 20" or 22". The reason I'm so curious is I've sent mine for a Hornet barrel and last time I called all they had were the 20's. Have fun with your Hornet and hope you get a big Moose.  8)
