Have any of you Bubba's heard of Harringtom & Richardson Arms Co. Worcester, MA. I just pickup a 32 revolver for $50, need some work.
 
50$? Suhweet. Sounds like the best deal since the 100$ M44s that you can find everywhere! No reason not to buy ANY functioning gun for 50$....ive been looking for a beat up level action rifle for some time to refinish and modify to my likings.
 
H & Rs were good dependable guns. Not the fit and finish of a Colt or Smith & Wesson but always relaible. I have a 40 year old 9 shot 22. caliber revolver that I still use for plinking. Get a gunsmith to look at it and give it a good overhaul and it should serve you well for years.

I plan on overhauling it myself. I can make almost any part that I may need( I Hope HEHEHEHEHE!!!). The last date that it has stamp on top of the barrel is April 7, 1909. I also have a Hopkin & Allens Arms Co. 22 that I am messing with.:D
 
Here is a pic. Someone was mess with the pivot pin. I plan on hot bluing it. The only thing that it needs internal is the trigger return spring.
 
You will need to be careful with that if you are going to fire it. If there is much slop at all in the cylinder lock mechanism, many are considered unfireable (izzat a word?). They're also not very strong, so use very light loads.

The guy I rode with collected these things. Many of those top-loaders were considered the Saturday night special belly-guns of their days, and many have never even been fired. While there are some which were quite nifty little handguns, many were crap and are dangerous to use with modern ammo.

Since I have absolutely no idea which you have, I simply counsel caution before you start firing, old man. Wouldn't want to damage your:jerkit: hand!:)
 
That oughtta look nice with a fresh hot blueing.
Definitly stay away from the + P ammo!! :D
I picked up a H&R 9 shot 22 pistol with the rear for 100$ I love it!! It has become my squirrel gun while deer hunting a few times :eek:

I hear you Bro.:thumbup: In your day, I bet your BELLY gun was a Howitzer or two.:eek: HEHEHEHEHE!!!!
The most slop is in the pivot pin that someone put in. I think that I will have to ream out the hole and make a new pin on my Unimat lathe out of O1.
I thing the biggest problem ( beside you;)), is to find out if this piece had a shell ejector.;) It has no serial numbers on it, makes a good throw away.;)
 
Yeap, I guess I did. Been a while, and I've forgotten my manners. Sorry, Mr. Dickhead. :)
