H&R Reising model 65
Seems to be early post war commercial model 65 in blue, still wearing military contract stock and front sight, not yet marked " The General" . According to the last owner it was a safe queen since being bought in the 1940's. Contact scratches on the stock, looks to be 99% or better bluing, no sign inside the action that it's even fired a round. Original magazine with the spare, heavy bull barrel meant to mimic the weight of the M1 service rifle for the USMC who used these in parkerized finish for training rifles during WW2. Apparently H&R had permission to use the design as a commercial sporter after the government contracts were filled. The only .22 I have heavier than this one is the Australian trainer built off the No1 MKIII action with similar weight bull barrel.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Very nice!! So that is what they look like without decades of abuse! I had to scrape the spray paint over-spray off mine after decades of being in my great-grandfathers barn and then my grandfathers barn.
