Both Look like an H &R to me.

Not sure if they are H&R, but I love the message.

I think there's just one, looks just like my old Model 19XX used to look like before it was camo'd for my Dad to shoot his first turkey with about 15yrs ago, it was my first H&R in 1955, my Grand Dad gave it to my Dad in about 1940 when they lived in Idaho. I refinished it and put better sights on it so I can kill a turkey with it too.

Could be an old Bay State, but that trigger guard looks like an old Stevens. Hunman55........the Bay State was made by H&R, I think.

Prolly Winchester Model 37. He came out to where we shot a game called cowpasture skeet once and was shooting a Browning Auto 5 that day. In fact I think all the folks that came with him were shooting the Browning A5.

Hank is an old time member here tho I've not seen any posts by him in several years so as far as I know he's not visiting or at least no posting here any longer. He got to coming here due to a mutual friend who was back then a very regular member here. His health went bad and I'm not even sure he's still alive as I've not heard from him in years either. He said that himself and Hank lived near each other and that another mutual friend of theirs a popular basket ball player who I think goes by the name of Shak or something like that also was a member here in those days. Shak paid for the operation my friend needed.

I never heard from him after the surgery so I don't know if he survived or not but none of them have posted here in a long time. Both Hank and Shak used names to prevent the membership from knowing who they were but he and I communicated several times in those days. I'd bet he is still posting and reading on some site or sites like this even today but if so would be keeping his identity hidden pretty well.

I guess you never know who you might be talking to or trading with.  Back in 1996 I got into Ham Radio and was amazed at the famous people who were hams.  Ronald Reagan,  Joe Walsh (the Eagles)   King Hussein of Jordan,  Senator Barry Goldwater  just to name a few off the top of my head.
