Hello,

I am new to this great site.

I have the aforementioned pistol and am inquiring about the date of manufacture. The serial number is AY125620.

Thank you,
Tom

H&R used the letter codes "AY" in 1982. model 999's of this era appear on the auction sites quite often and depending on condition will usually bring between $200 (60%) to $300 plus (like new in the box). H&R revolvers of the 1960's 70's and 80's are valued more for their ability as a shooter than collectors staus.

I'm also looking for some info on the Sportsman. My wife and I recently moved into her grandmothers house after she passed away. I found the revolver in her sock drawer and I know nothing about it...I don't even know if it's ever been fired. This will actually be the first gun I've owned. The serial number is AU147710.

By the way...great forum!

My late Uncle favored the H&R for road hunting, from his truck; he shot at least three starboard side windows out of it, with the revolver, of which I am certain, because I was sitting in the truck, next to the windows, when they exploded, from his shots!
Just the same, I have 'fetched' a lot of gamebirds, and such, for that old hillbilly, and deer, as well, that fell to that .22 revolver, and they all made good table fare.
Uncle Kink liked his a lot; It's in my safe, today.
