We are live with a home page. Please do not call Palmetto as the CS people have not been brought into the loop yet. https://hr1871.com/ Please direct all questions to this thread instead of starting new ones. I will post all updates here and in the JJE-H&R thread in the retro forum. |

As I’ve said before, the original break action guns are not going to happen. I will come up with a single shot rifle of some sort. But it won’t be the Handi rifle. |

Heck with Henry making them now I feel the guys that are wanting a traditional single shot will be buying one of those. Now if y’all make a black / synthetic 16” threaded single shot in 300blk/7.62x39/556/9mm/45acp/45lc/357 with milled pic rail on barrel. Think y’all will sale a butt ton of them. |

If H&R starts selling new M1 garands would there be a chance that H&R will be able to sell new manufactured replacement parts like springs & op rods? Also is the NEF handi-rifle in the cards in the near future? I'd love a .223/5.56 with an older style ejector instead of the extractor version I've got. |

Don’t have price or availability yet. The markings are forged directly into the lower? Am I seeing that right? Super cool if so. |

Lowers look awesome! I’d been in for one. Any way you could match the last 3 numbers on my original demilled H& R lower?Attached File Attached File |

I'm going to do my best to make good parts at a higher volume than what we did at NoDak. I have already been giving the machine shops consternation with my details/specs.

Thanks. That was me and one of the website guys. No timeline on the M1 Garand yet. They only recently converted the old paper blueprints to a digital format. I will pass along updates when I have them. |

Very cool, I look for to the updates, a garand is one of those things I’d like to add to the safe if it were relatively available and easy to do but not something im on my head for so I can wait patiently but I will definitely buy one when it’s ready! An xm177 will tide me over though |

Preferably a youth/compact stock option |

E2, So 639 style Like this one. I would prefer non pinned and welded.  Colt Model 639: MACVSOG's Vietnam Carbine |

 My first issue rifle was a HR M16A1, can't wait to get one. |

What's the ETA on the H&R lowers being available? |

I’m currently waiting on the second batch of ano samples to come back. Once I’m satisfied I will send out the first batch of M16A1 lowers and the remaining NoDak uppers I have in house. I need to make sure our machining centers and the anodizing house are squared away before we turn on full production. Realistically it will be sometime in May. |
