Never seen a receiver like that, but I'd buy it if I could.  Yes it "inspires" many questions, and the reason I'd get it is to put it away for "SHTF" preparedness.  It lloks like it could be used for many things in many configurations!  Altho the law also has a say what configurations might be good or not.

In its present state is it legal?  I'd say so because its just a lump of parts in the pic.  And to take advantage of the pistol grip, would need to have a long enough barrel to make OVERALL length at least 26 or 27 inches.

But was the receiver to somehow land in my possession I'd contact H&R seeking the receiver's history by submitting the serial number, and go from there.   :o

Seriously considering bidding on it if handirandy doesn't want it. Don't want to short him out of his find.

go for it Damen.  i was just interested in facts and really kind of wanted to alert anyone else    kind of wanted to know what kind of barrel would be needed to make it serviceable.  Don't know much about the handigun frame.  According to quick's ad they might be a low pressure shotgun or rimfire frame.  Would make an interesting 410 or 20 ga. "pest" gun.

You will want to check the Fed. regs on this very closely, guys. Last I heard these were illegal to own unless you have 'paper' and modifications to one may put you into the 'manufacturer status.

I was recently at my local gun shop and the Gunsmith had a handgun  that looked very simular that he was working on, but was made in Italy.It was .44 mag/410.It had rifling in the barrel which makes it legal. The hangun in question would be illegal as a smooth bore, but if it is rifled in the barrel it would be legal. I have a TC Contender 14'' .45 colt .410 barrel which is legal due to it being rifled.You may want to check the Federal laws just to be sure. ;)

H&R made some Handy handguns many years ago.  Those models are perfectly legal as a handgun if they have a rifled bore.  If they have a smooth bore like the 410, 28ga and 20ga models, they have to have a 18" barrel and an overall length of 26" or more.  If they have a < 18" barrel they are an NFA device defined as an Any Other Weapon(AOW).

If it was registered as an AOW prior because it had a < 18" smoothbore, even without the shotty barrel now, then it must be transferred as one, or struck from the registry.   If it was disassembled prior to the NFA taking place(1934) and never had a short smoothbore barrel attached it is just a common pistol receiver which follows the GCA of 1968 laws.
