H & R Revolver

[sm]

I laugh at the "Survival" threads.

Having been through Civil Unrests that vary from two legged predators upset about politics, or looters after a Tornado, Flood or similar.
Four legged /Slithering pests after natural disasters.
Hiking, Camping, Trail use...

H&R .22 revolvers and .38spls, and H&R single shot shotguns, are proven.
Old Hickory carbon steel knives are proven.
Opinels, Barlows, Scout, Stockmans, and other old classic knives are proven.

Folks have used these forever, had them put back, hoarded them, kept in tornado shelters...and these are still being used.

Two of the most overlooked tools folks never think about or have when they need them and are the least expensive to have:

Pair of Nail Clippers
Pair of Tweezers

A simple H&R will shoot snakes after flooding due to a tornado.
Moving limbs and messing with debris, tweezers remove splinters, nail clippers trim toe/fingernails that are causing discomfort, and Old Hickory knives still spread peanut butter, slice Spam, whittle sticks to make a kindling for a fire.

If Marlin brings this H&R back - put a lanyard ring on the darn thing.

utgopher:
H&R revolver serial numbers beginning with "AJ" were made in 1974.

Have had a 2 1/2 929 nine shooter since I bought it new in 73. Have no idea how many thousands of rounds I have ran through it. It has literally been ran over by a truck, dropped in more than one stream and lake,....has filled many a pot with rabbit and partridge. Still have it,...still shoot it regularly. Use it to teach my grandsons. Wish they'd bring them back. This little piece stays in my field pack all the time. From .22 Shorts to CCI Stingers.... hard to beat.

For those who are asking about 999 prices i have sold 2 recently on Gunbroker. One was a very clean 999 supposedly unfired in the box that brought $375.00 and the second was a well worn 999 that sold for $225.00.

There are lots of folks looking for these guns for some reason. Maybe nostalgia or just because of their uniqueness.

H&r 676....

The 676 is only double action .22LR/.22WMR revolver around. For accuracy, I'll put mine up against any .22 around. And, I can shoot double action!

The one with the 12" barrel shoots like a rifle. My eyesight is the only limitation.

The H&R rimfires are seriously under-appreciated, with a number of cool features. You can almost always score them for less than $200 even in mint condition; any wear whatsoever causes value to drop even further. They have good reliable safeties, close tolerances, triggers are mediocre to good (about like a typical Ruger) but improve with use.

I saw a snubbie 8-shot H&R in 22Magnum once that I would have *loved* to own, didn't have the money at the time (sigh).

Some of the best value for the money out there in rimfires.

Need info on old h&r 922 nine shot revolver

I have an H&R 922, 6" barrel, sn 129130. It is in very rough shape, was among some of my late uncle's things which I inherited 10 yrs ago. The grip on one side is broken. Not functioning as is. Has an octagon shaped barrel. With it is a box of 22 extra long rifle ammo, which fits the gun. My basic question, should I just throw it away, or is there possibly anyone who would want any of the parts to restore one? NOTE: the ammo is marked EXTRA long rifle, not LR, and the gun is not marked, but the ammo fits. I'd appreciate any remarks or advice. thanks.

Maybe you should have started a new thread

in the RESEARCH section.

 

[spidermom]

Yeah, my mistake. I think I've got it posted to a site that'll work better now. Thanks.

Last weekend I saw an H&R 922 9-shot .22 snubnose with a nickle finish at a local shop. All this talk about H&R .22s makes we want to head there this weekend and pick it up for $125.

My big hesitation when it comes to H&R revolvers is that I always seem to talk myself out of buying them by saying to myself "if I save the $100 some dollars I can get something better."

Sad story re a Ni-finished #930, SN beginning AM4XXXX. It hits high at 10-25yd - and the front blade is fixed. The previous owner gave it to me after he had ordered parts for it - a spring and strut - and the local 'shadetree' installed them. The little cup that bears against the hammer was inverted and the saddle the strut rides in was upside down, both actions putting tremendous pre-load on the little coil spring - so he clipped it. Hard trigger, so I took the spring/strut/saddle out and re-assembled - nice trigger now. Of course, it needed the missing spring length... I get five of nine go off the first time around, so ftfs from the light hammer spring. I need a full length spring... Brownell's has a 'common' spring for H&R's... anyone know if it works? I wish I could find my Wolff catalog.

The friend who bought this from the pawn shop ($65) just gave it to me - I do want to get it going and return it to him. I've never understood the desire gunsmith wannabe's have to clip/rebend springs. I had to lose more length to ease the nasty burr he left, too. I saw it once in a trigger return spring in a LN S&W 625MG - and a hammer leaf that had been 'reformed' - out of plane - both drug, giving a horrid trigger. The owner paid for that... and dumped the gun. I fixed it for a pair of springs!

Neat little .22.
