!!SOLD!! 288-R1137. Model 65 Reising, Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., “Leatherneck” .22 Training Rifle, s/n 7355. The Reising Model 65 is a .22 caliber semi-automatic training rifle that was designed for the USMC by H&R engineer Eugene Reising in 1942, with manufacture beginning in 1943. According to Frank Iannamico in his book The Reising Submachine Gun Story on pages 33-36 (see our Books for Collectors & Shooters web page to purchase a copy) “The Marines wanted a .22 caliber semi-automatic trainer that had the same “feel” as the M1 Garand service rifle.” The Parkerized metal finish is in very good condition as is the oil-finished stock. The front sight of this model is of particular interest to Garand collectors as it has the same type of protective guard blades as the M1 rifle (and M1 carbine for that matter). Unfortunately, someone, for whatever reason, replaced the original front sight with an M14 front sight; this is reflected in the price. Sale includes one original 10-round magazine. This is a very scarce and interesting World War II trainer and only the third one that we have been able to offer. - $695
