Made from the former Nodak Spud forgings, JJE Capial purchased Nodak in December, 2021 and has moved production of H&R retro guns to South Carolina. Featuring the H&R Lion, these lower receivers are ready for a retro build.
Material is 7075-T6 and are marked with the Vintage 1960’s Harrington & Richardson Lion Logo. The finish is Gray type 3 hard coat anodizing. Serial numbers replicate the original 2,000,000 range but with an HR prefix.

Note: This is true retro gray anodized lower. Do not be confused with black anodized A1 lowers. Those exist as well, but we all know that getting the gray the right color is hard, and results in many spoiled lowers, also sold as blems. This is one reason gray has an added cost.
