I was in a gun shop and notice that many of the H & R and or NEF pistols that might have cost you about $90.00 way back when are now worth est..$389.00.. Now that's what the guns shop was selling them for.. so if you sold it to a gun shop you ain't going to get that amount.. However for a collector they might pay that price.

 

[good ole boy]

I was wantin the 10 ga Turkey and don,t think any are left.

 

[uncle buck]

So you can have a gun that ain't PURTY! Once the company closes it starts to go up in price even though it was UGLY! Some guns are ugly like the two LEE SISTERS! Ugly Lee and Homely!!!

I know my ultra slugger is gone up in value.

 

[DennyF]

Aw, rats! Sold a perfectly good (and very accurate) NEF heavy barrel in 223, to another member here a few years back. Now they're collectible.

Nothing wrong with it, just didn't need it after finding a good deal on a barely-used M700 varminter in 223, already had two semis in that chambering at the time.

Still have an NEF combo gun around here somewheres. 22 Hornet and 20ga barrels in a handy Cordura padded carrying case.

I have a 10 gauge HR long tom I bought for 75 bucks in mint condition. I guess I'm a millionaire.

 

[uncle buck]

So what's NEF 10 gauge single worth now?

 

[hunterdan199]

I have both of their twenty gauges they are my sons slug guns dollar for dollar they the most accurate gun out their ,

 

[coffinmaker]

I was lucky enough to trade a nice pocket watch for a .223 NEF. Trigger needs to be worked. Bull barrel, heavy little piece of steel.

 

[woodsnwater16ga]

Some of the old H&R revolvers especially older target 22 lr models can get a bit high price. The guns mentioned like the 10 ga and 223 are not collector pieces. The rifles they make are however acurate and reliable and shoot reallly well especially when usaing reloads.

 

[410-er]

Look back at the H&R Bay State and Topper shotguns.They originally sold for $5-$10.

Remington just ruined another company

 

[coffinmaker]

I went to the range with the .223 NEF, 50 yds, same hole!! Had to disassemble the trigger works again to lessen the pull. I'm now at 1 1/4 pounds. I believe I have the newer model with a hole plug on the forward right side of the receiver, next to the pin which holds the front of the trigger guard. Super shooting rifle for poking a round through brush openings for eye shots (head shots).

 

[Pahack]

And I let a 22 Hornet and 44 mag go for cheap! UGH

 

[octagon]

Remington just ruined another company

I agree. It makes me sick!!

 

[octagon]

I love NEF\H&R guns. I have 2 shotguns 3 rifles and 1 muzzleloader. It makes me sick what Remington did to them and ran them out of town.

 

[Jericho]

Not long ago they made a run of 35 REM rifles, market was flooded for a brief period and now you cant find one.

 

[uncle buck]

I had a H & R 16 gauge bolt action. The bolt was real hard to work.. The stock actually cracked. Something just was not seated in there right for all the problems with it... I had it when I was a teenager.. I used it but sold it for about $20.00. It was a tube feed..I killed things with it but just not truly a repeater so to speak because of how hard it was to eject a shell out of the chamber fast.. I probably paid $50.00 for it but when I saw the stock was broke I just sold it in about 1973.

 

[treemouse]

I keep my HR 929 on a shelf with 8 hollow points in it. The wife knows how to use it if need be. Sometimes I take it out and pretend to hunt squirrels with it.

 

[DennyF]

Sold a nice H&R marked bolt action 30-06 earlier this year. Pencil barrel, very light weight rifle and kicked like a mule with my 150gr loads.

Don't know when H&R marketed them, would guess back in the 70s, as I'd never seen one before I got it years ago. It was built on a Zastava "Mauser" action, same as the old Interarms Mark X actions from that time period.
