A lot of these will probably be NoDakSpud tooling with H&R rollmarks applied. Technically not owned by Palmetto, a parallel subsidiary under the same holding company. According to former NDS co-owner Harlan, Mike's expertise and the NDS tooling to build the "new" H&R brand and line right were the entire purpose in JJE's acquisition of NDS.
Time will tell, but the way it sounded the intent was basically to relocate NDS and spool it up even more with better capitalization and a "legacy" trademark.

Hope they can figure out how to do gray anodizing without a purple tint. Colt seemed to manage OK in the 1960's and "70's. But the older hippie crowd might like it

Sounds crazy, but am not that much into AR’s, more of a classic steel and wood guy. In fact currently only have one AR.
However being my first issue M16A1 was an H&R ( still remember the serial number 2216455) this does interest me

For the love of GOD, please make a H&R rollmarked T-48 FAL.
I'd also be interested in their retro M-16s so long as they aren't "goober spec" or the price of Colt retro rifles.

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Would it be wrong/crazy to ask for new M1 Garands...made to spec?
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

Considering the prices of M1 Garands nowdays, that might be worth it.Originally Posted by Slater

Some of these guns are now available on PSA website.

They had some complete M16A1 marked lowers for sale last week. I missed my chance to grab one, but from Reddit, the quality of the buttstock leaves much to be desired. The lower itself seemed good, however, so I'll probably just wait until they have a stripped one in stock and grab it.

Exciting news from the new H&R. Some guys were down in the basement of the old plant working on the boiler which was the same one that's been heating the place since WWII. The pipe going into the chimney was rusted completely through and they had to bust out the wall to get to the base of the chimney. Well the broke into a large store room that had been bricked in decades ago. In that store room were cases piled high of H&R M1 Garands that never shipped because the war ended. Towards the front were H&R Vietnam-era M16's, a special run in semi-auto only. They never shipped because that war ended.
Oh yeah and there were thousands of pre-embargo Cuban cigars and some prohibition-era whiskey in a hermetically sealed case.
