Re: H&R OFFICERS MODEL SERIAL DATE?

The higher the serial number the better.

I have two H&R "Officers" model TD's. Both have had many rounds thru them with nary a hiccup. However the breech block can be beplaced with the original itm if you have the tools & patience to do the job.

These rifles make excellent deer rifles & can be used for BP hunting in most states. The 45-70 round will bring down ANYTHING in north America. Something about kinetic energy comes into play :)

The steel in the barrels is much harder than the SA trapdoor & will stand the jacketed bullets without eroding the bore.

I ONLY fire hand loads in ANY of my TD's. Look for "cowboy action" rounds to feed your H&R or load your own. Keep the pressures under 25,000 cup.

Have fun but be safe.

Ernie
