Here is a pic of my HRA's (4) 5709xxx and one 5710xxx, at one time I had two other 5709xxx. These have been like barn cats to me, get one and they all show up.

Very nice love to shoot my HRA but I only have one.

Curious how you tell HRA-made high hump lock from SA. I have my method, wonder what yours is. Also, SA parts did find their way onto rifles during assembly in Worcester. And not just at the beginning, as some believe.

A lot of HRA rifles had some SA parts at the end of HRA's production contract.

Hi togor, I worked a mil spec plating line for many years and...just have a eye for each finish. I think that perhaps the finish on the HRA gas cylinder and lock obtain color during the oil dip stage...thus oily and black. To explain further, some finished parts will come out of the tank looking just like they did going in, they are then rinsed and placed in a preservative oil, the oil gives the actual color to the finish. HRA, SA and Winchester all seem to have had their own way of finishing parts, I can't speak about IHC as I've never owned an IHC.

Meh. A semi early HRA. The usual reserve not met.

I'm getting 5.77 this week. It has a U.W. 058 bolt and 8-53 SA barrel.
