Harrington & Richardson Retro AR's

[kirkland]

An M1 Garand with all forged and milled parts would be rather pricey. Probably around $2500 or more.

Considering the prices of M1 Garands nowdays, that might be worth it.

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.

That’s way better than Geraldo could have dreamed!

Any details on their condition, how many, and what they plan to do with them?

They only ship once a year, on 4/1. Place order now for next year's shipment.

That's the Brownells stock, it's certainly not the best. All the furniture being used on the PSA/H&R line is Brownells.

The good news is that PSA/H&R recently introduced a repro trap door A1 stock and from the pictures it seems like a pretty well done copy of the original trap door A1 stock. It might even be able to substitute for a repro Colt CS stock if the butt plates are are interchangeable with A2 butt plates.

Seriously, M1 Garand's, CMP is still selling those, I want a Colt Monitor, a Bren, a Johnson LMG, a Stoner 63, a Carl Gustaf M/45 and the list goes on.

I was issued a GM Hydramatic for a while in 1st Cav, rollmarks are cool and all but just another M16.
