[Mark in Rochester]

Rare and Unique Harrington & Richardson "BURRING/SAMPLE" M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle

Manufactured at an unknown date, the receiver of this M1 Garand only bears 2 markings; the "D-6528291" drawing number on the right receiver leg and "BURRING/SAMPLE" on the receiver in lieu of the traditional manufacturer nomenclature suggesting the rifle was most likely used as an educational tool. All marked parts are original Harrington & Richardson manufactured, including the "6-55" dated barrel and iconic relief cut operating rod.

Correct me if I am wrong - but I thought H&R made M1 rifle barrels before their rifle production

RCS-- That is correct H&R produced replacement barrels for the US military rebuild programs in the early 50"s. I just happen to have a 1955 H&R that was rebuilt with one of those early barrels, so they were still floating around the supply system for a while.
