[QUOTE="Donald, post: 909659, member: 5934"] I hung out there for quite a while. Lots of information about the Handi's there. Thats where I found the info for doing a trigger job. It is not for the non mechanical minded. Some very critical surfaces there. A tad too much and you will be buying a new trigger system. Knowing what I was doing I almost went too far. But it is fine, just a tad light, like 1.5 to 1.75 lbs. However a trigger job is not an answer to accuracy, in fact almost nothing. It is the way the barrel is attached to the fore end and the very long throated chamber that hurts the accuracy. I spent many many hours trying to make it shoot better. It got a bit better but not much. Very good if you could do 1 moa for 5 at 100 yds. Plus you can trade barrels with others. NEF would lead you to believe that they must be sent back to factory for a refit of a new barrel. I have bought shotgun barrels at pawnshops and they locked up tight as could be. Very easy to check to see if they lock up properly. I only have experience with a 223 Ultra. Still have it and don't plan on getting rid of it. Nice little rifles, just wish they would sell a blank so one could chamber it for a custom chamber and round. Like a 6ppc or a 6BR. Ejector is a problem though. However if one wanted to he could do away with the ejector and pic them by hand. They have info on that too. Some of those guys have barrels from 22 to 45-120. The action is very strong, but you have to get the SB-2 action and not the shotgun action. Very much different. HTH. Donald [/QUOTE]
