Model 65 H&R Reising magazine release question?

[Brightonknight]

Hi,

I have a Model 65 H& R Reising with serial #3588. I have seen in some parts documentation that there are two types of magazine catches/releases.

One early type is a small curving release lever and second is a straight catch without the lever. I've included some photos of the magazine area. Is this correct or is a part missing? The catch that is there looks fine under magnification. Does the curving magazine release lever slip over this or is this a later magazine release? I have seen Model 65s with just this type of release.

While I'm at it, I've taken this down for cleaning and there doesn't seem to be much of a finish any where on this weapon. Were some of these built with bare minimum protective finish?

Information would be great and if I do need a part, where might I get possibly get one.






Thanks, James
