Yul Catchum Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Try Greybeards forum for H&R rifles. They sell the 38-55's fairly often but old onto your wallet. They are not cheap!
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Briscoe Darling jr has one for sale on the SASS classifieds right now, in 45-70.

Sourdough Joe, SASS #7901 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hello, I am sending you a PM with info on handi rifles. Sourdough Joe I am looking to buy a used H&R hadi rifle in 38/55 or 45/70 for Plainsmen -anyone got one to sell or trade ?
Al OVERA, SASS#26238 Life Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Hes way to proud of that one!!! While the base price of his rifle seems a little high, you must remember, they don't make that caliber anymore, and he does have some pretty pricey extras with it. Sights aren't cheap. I bought one off this wire last year, it was used, but nice, and since the inital purchase, I have added around $250.00 for good sights. All in all, he's not that proud of it. MHO(38-55 is soooo much nicer to shoot than 45-70) Al
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Diablo Slim I have a nearly new Handi Rifle in 45-70 I want to sell. This has the shorter barrel(not a Buffalo Classic) has a post front sight and a rear flat-top sight. The sights are SASS legal. Nearly brand new it has fired 29 rounds, no nicks or dings. The guy I bought it from loaded some very hot rounds(about 2300 fps)and didn't like the recoil. Perfect Plainsman rifle, I don't own a C&B guns and don't plan on buying any. Sell for $255.00 plus $15.00 freight. Comes with box, owners manual and I think warranty card. Marlin Buckhorn

They are not cheap! The Greybeards site has so many forums I can't find anything. As a matter of curiosity what are they selling for?

Briscoe Darling # 69296 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I found the post and enjoyed the friendly banter about pride and price. Fact is if you take and add it up the other way and start with the rifle Rifle alone I have seen a few used ones go for 300.00 Lee Shaver Midrange Sight 225.00 Shaver custom mount plate 35.00 Install Sight 95.00 The Rear sight is precision milled into the wood and Acraglassed in place to be straight and true is no simple job. Tigger Job 65.00 made a big improvement Hammer Extension 15.00 H&R Scope Base 35.00 w/ Frt ___________________________ Your at 770.00 and add 25.00 shipping = 795.00 plus all the research and running to the gun smith and the waiting for it to get done. Yes I might be proud but look at the details and it looks like a deal I wish I could have gotten when I bought it . 750.00 shipped to your FFL looks right nice to me. Thanks for listening Briscoe
Malpais Mike Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Hello the camp! I got mine from Auction Arms in .38-55. There were several then,should be good choice now. mm
Buckwheat Jack Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I got my Handi 45-70 about a year ago on Gunbroker, from a pawn shop somewhere in Mississippi. Brand new, the price was a bit under $300, counting shipping and dealer fee. All the expensive extras are not really necessary. I have made a few cosmetic changes that involved more time than money. Great shooter.
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I have a standard wood stocked .45-70 Handi, absolutely new in the box, for $265, shipped. If your dealer won't accept from an individual, add another $20 to that.
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 What something is worth is just what someone will pay for it. The trouble with doing ANY modifcations to a gun is to find someone who wants the same thing. Kinda like fixing up your house to sell it. Get it all cleaned up and repainted, sell it, and the first thing the new ownes do is repaint!
Capt Stephen D Hill, SASS #56151 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 There is a "Big" difference between a Handi rifle, and the Buffalo Classic. I have owned both, and Briscoe's is a Great buy with everything he's got to go with it. JMHO Bump for a good pard!
