I left Robert Granvin an E-mail note explaining what I know
about the H&R handguns he described in this post, but the
conversation prompted me to want to ask a question to two
myself...

1) What exactly happened to H&R, and when? I understood they
went out of business over a lawsuit, suomething involving
liability involving a fatal shooting accident sometime in
the mid-80s. Is any of that correct?

2) How long afterwards did New England Arms (Firearms?) appear
on the scene, and how long were they a viable firm?

Inquiring minds want to know....         - Dave
