I have enjoyed my H&R Handi-rifle immensely and have been very impressed with the quality the gun displays for the price: so, I returned mine to have a 12 gauge rifled slug barrel fitted. I spoke to the folks at H&R and was assured they had the barrels in stock, so off it went on MAY 5th with a check... their site lists a 2-4 week turn around time. Its still there. As of today they cannot say when they will have the barrel for it or when it will be returned... every time I have called to check on it I have been told to "check back in a couple of weeks". Got a supervisor today who told me it would be the end of this month at the earliest. I also asked for a 45 colt barrel... they're discontinued. I'm not impressed. While the folks I have talked to have been courteous, none of them seem much interested in getting things done or even trying to find out what the hold up is. I told them I'm not much interested in any more barrels. So, sent may 5th, check cashed may 10th, no info other than what I have managed to drag out of them by calling every so often.

It boggles my mind that it has been 11 years since I did my Handi-Rifle project.
At least in 1998, NEF was making one run of barrels per caliber a year. So if they make the Hornet barrels in January and sell out within a month, PLUS you send in your rifle in March, well, figure on it being there a while.
If I were to do one now, I'd buy the rifle, figure out all the barrels I wanted, bite the bullet money wise and order them all at once, send in the rifle, and not figure on seeing it for a while.

I'm thinking from here on in its simply easier to buy each barrel with its own frame... its a great little rifle. I guess Marlin bought out H&R, and now Remington is involved too?

I guess Marlin bought out H&R, and now Remington is involved too? from how ive read it and talk to the CS remington owns all of it , there is no more H&R all the new stuff is remington made?? some will even be stamped that way the CS lady told me in the real near future? ive tinkered with them rifles for year , i really enjoy them , i think your right just pick up used calibers as you find them and keep the whole gun , |

Thats my plan... STILL no rifle and no word from H&R. May 5th til now, and if I hadn't called them I wouldn't know anything about it, other than my check was cashed.

Called again, still no word. I give up. Told them to ship the frame back and give me a refund. Its a shame, as they're good guns... but either they don't get that customer service is just as important as building a good product, or they just don't care.
