| Was looking at a TC, but for the price of a TC frame I can get a handi rifle and 2 barrels. Does anyone know of any custom gunsmiths out there that do barrel work on the handi rifle? Or has anyone had any of their barrels rechambered with any luck? |

1022man; Barrels for the handi rifle are available thru the manufacture in a variety of calibers. Bear in mind, You are dealing with basically a 410 shotgun action like the H&R topper. Therefore, firing monster sized calibers in it would not be a great idea. Stretching the action and loosening the lock is entirely possible. I have seen them in rifle caliber up to .270. In my opinion, thats as hot as I would be comfortable with.
Kill all the lawyers and the world will be much better for it. |

| The NEF SB2 rifles are not your fathers H&R Topper. They now come in a variety of calibers--.22LR to 450 Marlin and just about everything in between..They come in wood stocked, laminated, and synthetic..They are capable of taking high intensity cartridges...243, 280,270,308,30-06, 450 Marlin, 7-08, and 45-70. I own and handload for eleven (11) of them..well worth the money--very accurate when worked up for a good handload----Strong?? In the 45-70 some load to level Three. Myself to Level 2. Great single shots... |

I know of one gunsmith that can do just about anything to a barrel but make it smaller in caliber. His name is Scott, his e-mail address is erase@ispwest.com..... You can ask him about some of the guns that he has done. He has several pic of them. Ray |

| The price seems right on these but how is the trigger? The best built gun value can be worthless with a 6 pound trigger. |

| When you send in your gun you can have them adjust the trigger pull. |
