Scarce Harrington & Richardson Reising 65-H Rifle – A Piece of Military Training History in .22 LR Uncover a scarce piece of military training history with the Harrington & Richardson Reising 65-H Rifle, a heavy-barreled training rifle chambered in .22 LR. Manufactured between 1944-1946, the Reising Model 65 stands out as a blowback-operated semi-automatic designed to mimic the weight and sight picture of the iconic U.S. M1 Garand Rifle. Utilized by the United States Marine Corps as a training weapon, the Reising Model 65 played a crucial role in preparing servicemen for handling and firing the M1 Garand. The incorporation of a winged blade front sight, Redfield peep rear sights, and the Worcester address on the barrel contributed to its authenticity. Marked with a "D" at the breech and featuring two-line model and caliber markings on top of the receiver, this Reising rifle reflects the attention to detail in replicating the characteristics of its military counterpart. The inclusion of a smooth pistol grip stock, web sling, and a standard 10-round magazine enhances its historical accuracy. Whether you’re a collector of military training rifles or a history enthusiast, the Scarce Harrington & Richardson Reising 65-H Rifle offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of firearms history that served a vital role in preparing the U.S. Marine Corps during the mid-20th century.
