First Look: Harrington & Richardson M14 by Adam Borisenko

Harrington & Richardson has just announced a small, limited edition run of H&R M14 rifles.

Now under the Palmetto State Armory umbrella, the revived Harrington & Richardson brand specializes in making very cool retro guns, mostly AR-15s like the XM177E2. Now, the company is releasing a small, limited run of H&R M14 rifles.

The new M14s are being assembled with mostly original (though re-inspected and refinished) USGI parts. The new parts used include the 8620 billet machined receiver, the chrome-lined barrel, the upper handguard and the walnut stock that bears H&R’s logo on the bottom of the grip.

While it’s too bad that these aren’t entirely made in-house by Harrington & Richardson, these are still very cool rifles. For those with more patience, H&R has confirmed that they also have a long-term plan in the works to begin fully producing M14s themselves. That’s no easy task, however, so don’t expect to see them any time soon.

The H&R M14 hasn’t had a price announced yet, but they drop August 29th at 4:30 EST if you’re interested.
