H&R M1 Garand Hat

The Worcester arsenal that finished the Garand line. Harrington & Richardson Arms Company of Worcester, Massachusetts produced about 428,000 M1 Garand rifles between 1953 and 1956 — roughly eight percent of total Garand output, completing the production run alongside Springfield Armory, Winchester, and International Harvester. H&R was a New England gunmaking institution by the time the Garand contract came in: founded in 1871 by Gilbert H. Harrington and William A. Richardson, the company had built revolvers, shotguns, and rimfire rifles for three generations of American shooters before being pulled into Korean War-era battle rifle production. H&R Garands are the second-rarest of the four maker variants and carry a distinct prestige in the Garand collector world — the receiver stamp \"H. R. ARMS CO.\" is the kind of detail that earns a knowing nod at the next CMP match. After the Garand line wound down, H&R continued building civilian shotguns and single-shot rifles for another four decades before closing in 2015, ending one of the longer continuous runs in American firearms manufacturing. This hat puts that Worcester legacy on your head — for the collectors who flip a Garand over, find the H&R cartouche, and know exactly what they're holding.

Built for M1 Garand collectors, CMP Garand match shooters, .30-06 reloaders, Korean War veterans and their families, H&R Arms collectors and shotgun owners, New England firearms history readers, manufacturer-variant collectors, milsurp researchers, and anyone who's ever picked up a Garand and traced the serial number back to Worcester, Massachusetts.
