Sirs:
I am new to the forum, and found it through a google search. I am researching information on a rifle left to me by my father, and it appears to be a .22 of the type discussed in this thread. The markings are similar to this one mentioned above:
U.S. MODEL MC-58
H&R MODEL #65 MODIFIED
HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON, INC
I don't have the rifle in front of me, but if I recall it is in the serial # range 6xxx. It has the green mesh sling and 1 mag.
I do not want to sell it but curious about value for insurance purposes, as well as whether I should use it or just store it? I imagine the value is around $4-500 based on other things I've seen but cannot be certain. It doesn't appear to be one of the more rare versions based on what i've read.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
BTW, great thread with good information and pictures...
Edit to add and correct -- The serial # is in the 9xxx range. Also there is what appears to be a series of digits in grease pencil markings on one side of the rifle near the butt and a stenciled #4 in yellow. Otherwise all appears to be in great shape.
