H&R sold off a bunch of T48 parts years ago when they closed down, a few members here bought a bunch of that stuff, so the idea of an NOS lower is perfectly plausible.People repark parts all the time. Not saying you’re wrong. Just saying it might be really hard to tell for sure if it’s NOS or not. Even so some would give A LOT for what you have.
Just click on the following icon, click on the "Drop image" text, a window will pop up that will allow you to select the photo file on either your phone or computer..If it was reparked the crisp black pin retainer and rivet would be parked also.
They were installed after it was parked. I am old and technology illiterate for
the most part. (by choice mostly) I have found my camera and will figure out
how to post pics in the next day or so.
No issue, when it looked like you were describing internal components, it sounded like it is assembled. I stand corrected.It is stripped. The lower itself is med-dark grey. The pin retainer is riveted in and crisp black.
I has not been refinished. There is no finish loss or scuffing in pin-selector holes, trigger guard hole,
pivot point, rear site dovetail, anywhere anything would touch it. As unlikely as it may be, I am sure
it is NOS. I have 40+ years experience dealing in NOS car-truck parts.
