Is that cover missing? Or is that the logo?

It seems like Ive always had a h&r withing reach. They shoot well enough and are very reliable. But, if your going to shoot it much go ahead and find a disconect (if thats the right word) they break sometimes.

Got a few the hvy. Bbl. .223 has fired at least 2000 rnds. Factory ammo, others few hundred each. 45-70 2-3 hundred with my hand loads. Never had a problem with any of them. Hvy. Bbl. Tapered Bbl. both shot 1 in. 3 shot groups @ 100 yards. 45-70 2 in. @ 100 yards. 243 1 in. @ 200 yards. W/ factory ammo. 20 years ago when I still had eyes. All with cheap 3x9 Burris scopes from K-Mart. Weaver Rings.

They shoot good. I've got 6 of them. Some I've had for 25 years. They usually wind up as truck guns. Ive replaced two disconnects and one firing pin and spring. Mine get dirty and neglected but earn their keep. Its just a good idea to keep a few spare parts around

Don't know if it counts as a Handy Rifle but along the exact same lines their is an SB-1 up there also, and again never had a lick of trouble. Corse you would have to be a masochist to shot that more than 5 rounds at a sitting. I probably only shot it 5 rounds in 2-3 yrs. after site in.

Yeeeah learned that the hard way. That transfer bar is such a pain . I'm just gonna gut it and replace the hammer with a rebounding one . Gets rid of 90% of the 'guts' leave you with a lighter trigger and the only real set back is you have a half (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) for a safety.

I found mine at a pawn shop also. Still in the original box. I figured when I got it the factory installed scope would be the first upgrade, but it shoots great with it and still wears it. At the bench, after 20 to 25 rounds the barrel seemed quite hot. That was shooting a variety of factory ammo types. Now I limit it to 10 rounds, let it cool while shooting something else.

My daughters in 357 magshoots nickels at 100. But it still broke durring deer season a few years ago. But no worries its under warranty just send it in and we should get it back to you by january. Needless to say i paid a local smith to fix it.

My cousin had a couple on 20g with rifled barrels. Very accurate but both broke in the same spot as mine. The pin that conects the transfer bar breaks. I know of 2 others that had the same problem. They sure do shoot well but thats is a weak point.

The only one of these I bought was a .223 with a bull barrel. Went to shoot it and broke out in a sweat trying to pull the trigger. I put it away and 20 years later decided to shine on the trigger which did improve it a bunch but not to what I call a target trigger.

Nice little guns for the price tho, I payed 100 bucks for mine new and for hunting it would do fine.

Thanks, didn't know there were aftermarket triggers for them. Might just play with this thing again!

Timmins has a NEF single shot trigger? Wow interesting. Or is it Timney? Checking that out. I just picked up a trigger for a Mosin Nagant build I am planning. I would like a better trigger on my NEF .223...

They break down for cleaning easy. It is the reassembly that has a minor trick that if you don't know it , makes it difficult.

So what's the trick or is that a secret?

As I recall you need to have them upside down for reassembly.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Upside down and pull the triger tilting it tell thing fall into place. Its been a while since i have hade mine apart but that the basic. Easy after the first few times. Trickey if its been a few years.

Wish i could find a few like new mark 2s. Mine is about my fav hand gun. Killed a mounian of things with it over the last 24 years. Had it cut down to 4.25" and threaded so all .22 ammo stays sub sonic.
