I've always been a fan of break action shotguns.
When i turned my attention to rifle cartridges, i discovered i 'got in' way too late to capitalize on the h&r/nef handi series.
I stumbled upon a NEF stamped handi in .223 with a scope. $160.00 u.s. out the door.
sweet!
this barrel is the default barrel and i keep it 'handi' with softpoints for varmint control on the homestead.
it has an extractor
I got a 20ga barrel off ebay for something like $25.00 u.s.
it was discolored really bad but certainly serviceable.
i stripped and steel wooled it. then fake blued it. it always comes out grey/brown because i'm not good at it.
:)
i shortened it to 18.5", put cva sights on it and a polychoke II.
now, before you get too upset about the polychoke, this polychoke is the rem-choke version and simply screws out leaving the barrel ready to accept any 'normal' rem-choke threaded choke.
;)
it has an ejector
lastly is a .357 mag barrel with factory sights.
i will not be reaming to max as i am happy with the poor ol' mag.
:)
it has an ejector that i will most likely change to an extractor.
before this barrel came home, i used a chiappa x-caliber 8" rifled insert in the 20ga barrel.
it'll be nice to have my daughters hunt with this barrel next year.

It came with the synthetic stock with the 'slender' forearm.
i bought, from choate, the 'store-arm' forearm.
it came with 2, no tool, forearm screws.
the shotgun barrel has a different thread so it was nice to get both thread type screws with the easy on/off forearm.
