All,
I just purchased a scarce Harrington & Richardson Model 65 National Match USMC Rifle. I have seen that some speculation exists regarding the details of this type of rifle, so that's why I'm posting about it here. I welcome any further input you may have on it.
I have also seen an online mention of a magazine article that may have covered these rifles. I am not aware of such an article, and if anyone has the details regarding which magazine published the article, I would be interested in gaining the information.
The rifle is marked "USMC," and "NM" on the left hand side of the receiver. It has a Weaver G4 scope mounted on a Stith mount, and the rifle is in the 10,000 serial; number range. It has a bull barrel, and is quite hefty. It's a very nice rifle.
I took a couple of pictures of the receiver markings. The serial number has been partially obscured in Photoshop. Here are the receiver marking pictures:
Here is a picture of the Weaver G4 scope. (El Paso manufacture)
Here are some overall pictures from the dealer website from where I purchased the rifle:
I would like to document additional National Match Reisings, if anyone has more information.
Thanks!
