Dlbarr, that looks great. The Handi gets treated like a redheaded stepchild but once you tinker with one a bit and find a load, I will argue a better value for a stronger gun cannot be found.

Got the forearm roughed in. Sweet Mary & Joseph this stuff makes a MESS!!!!! Anyway, now the real pain begins. I want this thing to fit really well. I think I am going to oversize the entire...
I recently picked up a magnetospeed chronograph. It's a little pricey but its leaps abd bounds ahead of traditional shoot through style chronographs. Unless you set it up wrong and don't use the...

If anyone has the forearm part for a Handi Rifle, please PM me. I will buy it. Prefer an old metal one but plastic will work. It's the little "U" shaped piece that goes between the...
