[davis123]

According to my records, that's an oldie. "A" prefix is 1940 ! Put some pics up if you get a chance, love my H&R's

Very nice, but you better put another roll of tp on the holder before the Mrs. comes after you
Here's some of mine - first the 999 :



Then a "new defender", don't see many around



Next is pretty standard 922



And the ultra tiny vest pocket model



That's enough for now - lol

Hey guys

Sorry to resurrect an old thread there just seems to be an incredible wealth of knowledge in the participants!

I have inherited my grandpas's 999 with serial number N6437, any info would be much appreciated!

N would be 1953.

Sorry about losing your grandpa, but congrats on inheriting the 999. 999's, in my honest opinion, are some of the best 22's ever made.

Congratulations on the new 999 - great 22! Knight is obviously correct, N=1953. Enjoy it !

My H&R 999 22cal has serial # D-247xx I think it is 1942 vintage. A beautiful piece and gift from my father-in-law many years ago.

Close... D would be 1943 if it is a post-1940 gun. However, prior to 1940 H&R used "D" to designate "Double Action". ....so, you could have a 1943 gun, or a pre-1940 Double Action Sportsman.

I'd have to see the gun and get a translation from the roll stamp to be able to date the gun.

Thank You Knight. I cannot post pictures????? I can read the barrel and perhaps give you what you need. In fact I will do that. New post on it's way.
