Having recently re-aquired one, I've been pulling my few remaining hairs out looking for information on this neat rifle. All i know is they were made in the '70's, mine in 72, in .45 and 58( mine a 58). They use lock that H&R used for their 1873 repops. LONG hammer throw and an extra notch to make things interesting.They are quite well made and finished, but I wish H&R would've used a full length rammer instead of that silly telescoping design... I'd love to get a copy of an owner's manual and some little details like rifling twist, recommended loads etc. At 7 1/2 pounds, she's a tad light for caliber. A joy to carry, but shooting 575213, and 575213os over 60gr of 2f Swiss... Lets just say she introduces herself. Any help greatly appreciated!
