Can someone please tell me something about this gun. It is a 9 shot 22LR NEF pistol in immaculate shape. Serial number is very low. Thank you. Bryan Jones in Arkansas. Contact me by email at bjones713@live.com or at 870-549-1750.

bjones,
Your NEF Model R92 was made sometime in the span of years 1988-99. Without the letter prefix to the serial number that is as close as can be determined.

This was the "Standard" revolver model in .22 cal from the time NEF was reconstituted from the remains of H&R Arms Co./H&R Inc. which went belly up in Feb. 1986. It can handle .22 short, long or long rifle cartridges of any factory produced power level, including Hyper-velocity. It was available with a 2.5", 3", 4" or 6" barrel and came in either a blue or electroless Nickel finish; fixed sights and hardwood stained grip panels.
It derived from the H&R Model 800 series of heavy framed, swing out cylinder revolvers first offered in the 1980s, based upon a .32 cal. design requested by the Government of India to arm paramilitary, secondary police and security forces.
Current retail values:
100%/NIB $125; 95% $85; 90% $70; 80% $60. Add $10 for e-nickel finish. As you can see from the valuations, this model does not generate a great deal of interest amongst collectors nor shooters.

Thanks Jim. The gun was left to me by an elderly woman that I took care of for several years. I will keep it no matter what, but just wondered what I had. Thanks again for your quick response. Bryan Jones. Arkansas
