@sean.psa That is my problem. I need to start drinking more. Tomorrow is BYOB at PSA!
Y’all hid those well in the website; definitely not easy to find without a link.
Anther vote for an A1 clone.
Would definitely be in for carry handle uppers as well as complete retro uppers.
I just picked up a couple lowers recently and was wanting to build a retro clone. Wonder if I should hold off now lol
Or maybe go past retro, get together with one of the groups that do wood furniture for ARs and offer a Mohave Special.
I have a M16 A1 parts kits (2) that need a lower and pencil barrel, so this looks interesting, possibly keep 1 as a 16A1 and make the other a CAR
JJE has announced that they acquired Nodak Spud and are moving it to West Columbia. They will produce H&R retro lowers, M1 Garands, along with some other goodies. 
Sooooo many possibilities…
We need to get a section just for Harrington and Richardson Retro Series. @sean.psa The new CEO of H&R, (former owner of Nodak Spud) can then jump in and answer any questions.
I like to see a Reproduction in Semi Auto of the H&R built Reising Sub Machine Gun, the M50.
This weapon was acquired by the USMC and was a colossal failure at Guadalcanal due to it being blued rather than parkerized and the Magazines being poorly constructed , with witness holes
Why remake a failure? Simply put the Reising had a Law Enforcement Semi Auto Carbine version called the M60. This not subjected to Salt Air , Combat and Volcanic soil was a winner.
The Reising also had accuracy superior to that of the Army’s M1 and M1A1 Thompson due to it Closed Bolt method of operation. This would be an excellent Pistol Caliber Carbine with a huge Retro Flare.
My suggestions since All variants of the Reising fired from the Closed Bolt is this. USE GLOCK .45ACP Magazines, use Black Anodize since Blueing lacks tactical durability but retains a twinge of the original weapons coloring , rather the more expensive Parkerization process. Opt for a Brown Polymer Stock rather than the original wood.
Maybe I’ve got a screw loose, but a reproduction of any WWII weapon using Glock mags is something that I definitely would NOT want. What’s next? A Thompson 1928 that takes Glock mags? A grease gun that takes Glock Mags?
NO. NO. NO.
Hmmm.
Lets examine this. Auto Ordnance/ Kahr Arms already produces the Thompson Family so that's a pointless argument.
Volunteer Arms produced a very weak Thompson wanna be in the 70’s , some using Thompson Mags , some using M3A1 Grease Gun Mags… I own the latter and its a fun shooter.
My reason on bringing up the Reising is Palmetto State already owns the Intellectual properties of all things Harrington and Richardson, so No legal issues of doing whatever they desire with the platform
Valkyrie Arms even made an M3A1 Carbine , so that Patend might face hurdles? The weapon was also out of the reach of most peoples leasure funds too.
Lastly…Glock Mags are Prooven ,Abundant and cost effective. PSA also sells them.
Sure. I’d love one closer to original, but History shows every shortcoming in the original weapon that can be overcome very easily these days.
<deleted - sorry, I was babbling on… > 
I like Glocks. But there is an aesthetics barrier that keeps me from thinking that a Glock Perfection plastic magazine belongs on any historic WWII firearm.
There’s also an economic barrier to consider. The H&R TDP includes the design for a stamped metallic magazine that is both rugged and inexpensive to manufacture. It meets all of the requirements for an M50/M60 magazine. All of the design work is already amortized.
It would cost a lot of money for a manufacturer to re-design the weapon to use Glock magazines. What’s the point? Why should any manufacturer take a design that works, that they have a full TDP to take to production, and re-engineer the weapon to use Glock magazines?
It doesn’t seem that any manufacturer would consider the additional expense involved in re-designing a finished product to enable it to use foreign magazines that could be bought from their competitors. You’re asking them to spend money on R&D so their customers don’t have to spend money on magazines, magazines that could be bought anywhere else. A good business model for repro retro requires the gun and accessories to be bought from the same vendor at a price that makes the whole package profitable to produce.
I doubt that any manufactuer would consider such a request for economic reasons.
Putting a Glock magazine on a classic firearm also bifurcates the market into people who will embrace a Glock magazine conversion and those who will reject it.
To me, Glock magazines would be a total blocker. I wouldn’t even consider the weapon if it used Glock mags.
Just for Starters. We have No reason to believe the Technical Data Package from the early 1940’s even exists today.
Nobody really knows exactly what was left when JJE / PSA aquired the rights and intellectual properties of Harrington and Richardson?
God knows the Reising in , I use the term loosely ,Military dress wasn’t a success and was often discarded for 03 Springfields or M1’s as they became available.
The weapon was a poorly fitted for Military use simply because the Thompson and the Army in Europe had higher priority to that of the USMC and the Pacific Theatre of operations.
If the Reising was a perfect weapon? I’d agree…leave it alone.
The Civilian variant did see moddest success in some smaller prisons… but it wasn’t as if they were being mechanically challenged on any regular basis.
sorry for the delay.
Just for Starters. We have No reason to believe the Technical Data Package from the early 1940’s even exists today.
I had read a post by the current CEO of H&R who had said that they had a complete TDP for the M1. I hope he’s right.
