Before a Marine carried an M1 Garand into combat, many learned the fundamentals behind rifles like this one. This Harrington & Richardson Model 65 Reising is a WWII-era USMC Leatherneck trainer chambered in .22 LR, built to give Marines economical trigger time while preserving the feel, balance, sight picture, and disciplined handling expected from a serious military training rifle. Serial number 5273 falls within the documented USMC procurement range, giving this example the kind of Marine Corps training pedigree that separates it from ordinary rimfire rifles.
The killer feature here is the unmistakable Reising under-forearm charging plunger. No exposed side handle. No Garand-style operating rod handle. Instead, H&R tucked the charging system into the stock line and gave the shooter a recessed plunger beneath the fore-end: press it down, drive it rearward, and the bolt retracts through a slick, hidden mechanical stroke. It is clever, unusual, and pure wartime engineering—one of those features collectors stop on because it is not just functional, it is mechanically fascinating. That under-stock plunger is the kind of detail that makes the Model 65 instantly memorable.
The rest of the rifle backs it up hard. The semi-automatic action feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine, the 24.00-inch target-profile barrel gives it the proper training-rifle presence, and the front blade with adjustable Redfield receiver peep sight delivers the exact kind of sight discipline Marine marksmanship instructors demanded. The black walnut stock, smooth pistol grip, metal butt plate, parkerized finish with patina, and leather sling give this rifle the honest martial character collectors want in a U.S. military trainer.
Historically, the Model 65 matters because it served a very real wartime purpose. As the Marine Corps expanded during World War II, recruits needed repetition, control, and marksmanship fundamentals before stepping behind full-power service rifles. The Model 65 helped build those skills with lower-cost .22 LR ammunition while keeping the shooter in a serious rifle platform. This was not a boy’s plinker dressed up for the rack—it was a purpose-built Marine Corps training arm tied directly to the wartime pipeline that prepared Marines for combat service.
For the advanced U.S. martial collector, this is the kind of piece that brings personality, scarcity, and story all at once. The documented procurement-range serial, correct receiver marking, Redfield aperture sight, detachable magazine, leather sling, and that wicked under-forearm charging plunger all come together in one hard-hitting package. This is a Marine Corps trainer with mechanical soul—a rifle that helped teach the fundamentals before the fight got real, and a National Armory offering with the kind of feature collectors remember long after the listing closes.
