Bought a matte nickle H&R Handy Gun II barrel and receiver factory chambered in 357 Remington Maximum. Added an H&R Topper 88 .410 stock set as it need the narrow barrel channel. Not in these pics I've since installed the missing rear sight. Replaced the ugly Weaver 82 scope base with a shorter, better looking Leupold 56515 scope base and topped with a 4x M8 Leupold. Installed sling studs and an Uncle Mikes hammer extention. Lastly a little custom bling to the forearm with a cartridge case head.
I'd add pics but this site sucks for posting pics for those of us with limited computer skills.

I have a Handi-Rifle with several barrels & a Magnum turkey barrel. The extra barrel program was an inexpensive way to make several guns out of one.
I really like the gun but I like it even more after having the trigger worked on.

I got extra lucky with this one. It has had a trigger job.

I think I figured out at least small pics.....

You’re gonna love the Max. Load up some 180 Speers HCFP with 26 gr of lil gun or there abouts. It’s a hammer. We have yet to recover a bullet and the farthest a deer went was 20 yards. Best bonus of all minimal recoil.

Get the rear sight?

Thanks, Dinny

They made a few handi rifles in 35 REM but they are very hard to find

There you are! Yes sir and thank you!! It fit perfect. I posted to you over on GBO when it arrived.

There is a 35 Remington barrel for sale over on Graybeards......

I had a huge collection of handi-rifles years ago. The 7x64 Brenneke was probably the coolest. Out of the probably 30 different variations I had none of them had a trigger that was worth a dang and was the limiting factor to accuracy.

Trigger jobs are a breeze on those rifles. If I've done 20, I've probably done 50. Having a slave pin and a small wedge to hold the barrel latch lever up reduce the cuss words during assembly by 90%.

Thanks, Dinny

Finally shot here yesterday. She's going to be a sweetheart!! The Maxi rounds seem to kick about the same as the Maggies but are noticeably louder.

I just picked up a blued Model 158 in 357 Mag. It cleaned up nicely and I plan to refinish the stock and see how it shoots. I like how well it handles!

Thanks, Dinny

Sweet!! Pics when you can! The 158's do handle better than the newer heavier barrels. My Maxi LOVES 357 mags too.

I'd really like to have one, as well as another in 7x57....I check EVERY Handi rifle I see in a shop.

One sold on Graybeards not long ago. Keep an eye on their H&R classifieds section.
