Nothing as nice as the beautiful gun posted but it’s my H&R just the same.
I am posting a few pictures of my H&R. It has a cracked butt stock and the Damascus pattern on the barrels is quit faded. Still has some case colors left and bore is very nice. The frame design is different from the other H&R’s I have see. Just forward and below the boosters on the side of the frame left and right side is a 1/2 round attachment. See the pictures. Possibly this is not uncommon but I just personally have not seen this before. Feedback on the gun is appreciated. |

Interesting attachments -- I wonder what they are for?

Quite an interesting H&R. The frame bolsters appear to be unfiled/shaped bolsters. In other words, still essentially as forged. Normally, these are shaped out to provide extra strength at the frame's corner... mostly for rifles or heavy duty shotguns for waterfowl. Many of H&R's early frames were sourced from England, so this gun may have been an odd forging that didn't get properly filed up. OR, was deliberately ordered with these hefty bolsters in place. After all, the pins are long enough to fit the frame width.

The photos are still not clear. If these bolsters were added to the basic frame, then it's all up in the air. It could have been done at H&R... or by some some other 'smith outside of the factory. The joint (if there is one) is very tight. So... who knows. They are a bit less than elegant however, so I think this may well be "aftermarket work."
