H&R Springfield Stalker .45

[Bearkiller]

A friend of mine just stopped by from TX and gave me this rifle! It's in very nice condition. Can't find much about it online just wondering if any of you folks might have one or know anything about it. So far I've found out that it was made in the '70,s but the rate of twist is in question.

And once again I am reminded, I need new friends :slap:

I like it. Congrats, Skychief

I have had one for years, but can't tell you too much about it. It is kind of a neat handy little rifle, I have tried REAL bullets without much success, round balls did better.

I like the looks of it. I have never seen one before.

H&R made them in both .45 & .58 cal - what caliber is yours ?

 

[Bearkiller]

Mine is a .45. I contacted TOTW for the nipple size and they said:

"Possibly 5/16 x 24 thread, visit your local hardware store to use their thread gauge."

Took them less than 24 hours to get back to me :hatsoff:

Well I went to the hardware store and discovered that the nipple is actually 1/4-28 so I ordered and received a Hot Shot nipple from TOTW. Have a 'rondy coming up in a couple a weeks and will be shooting this rifle there.
