First Look: Harrington & Richardson M14

[Talyn]

Harrington & Richardson has just announced a small, limited edition run of H&R M14 rifles.​

Now under the Palmetto State Armory umbrella, the revived Harrington & Richardson, the company is releasing a small, limited run of H&R M14 rifles.

The new M14s are being assembled with mostly original (though re-inspected and refinished) USGI parts. The new parts used include the 8620 billet machined receiver, the chrome-lined barrel, the upper handguard and the walnut stock that bears H&R’s logo on the bottom of the grip.

Meh, no selector switch so not an m14 in my book.

There's been quite a bit of discussion about these on other forums. Especially the M-14 Forum. The words "Limited Edition" almost always translates to "expensive". No actual price listed yet, but speculation is around $2000+. Most also believe that these were put together by James River Armory. A mid-tier M1A builder. Not top of the line.
Also bear in mind that this is not the Harrington & Richardson of old. H&R was a builder the original M-14s for the military. I have a Korean War vintage M1 Garand by H&R. Outstanding rifle. Many don't think the new H&R is up to snuff.
Most are guessing the number available will be small and they'll sell out within an hour. Maybe minutes.
Anyway, they'll be released at 4:30 pm on Friday. I guess we'll find out then.
I own 3 Springfield M1As and a Federal Ordnance M-14. While I am curious, I don't think I'll be buying one.
