Another Great Pawn Shop Treasure – H&R Model 949 .22 Revolver- LESS THAN A $100
I love shopping at pawn shops and every once in a while I find a great deal on a firearm. Today we look at a nice H&R .22LR revolver, known as the “Forty Niner”, that I picked up for less than a hundred bucks!
HR 949…..tackle box gun….had 2 of them, they rattled apart….IMHO they’re all a POS! Can’t get parts for ’em either, not even from Brownells. Try to get a rear sight. That’ll be the first piece you’ll lose every time. 90 bucks? You got cheated! They were 110 bucks new! You should have got it for 40 bucks…….
bought my heritage 22 at pawnshop love it! ❤️
Mixup stop telling everyone about them till I pick mine up for pennies.
Nice piece by the way, great score, I’d be bragging that up big time lol
You must camp, at these Pawn shops to get all these great deals on guns, i really like. Im starting to develop a strong jealous dislike for you.🤠
In 1968 I bought one of those 949s for $57 dollars brand new and it was a very good shooting gun in 72 I traded it in on a Ruger single six and they gave me $30 trade in on it.The Ruger I still have and its a much better gun, I’m looking for another 949 out of old time sake.
I found one for $175 is that a good price I got pictures of it it looks like it’s in really good condition I just can’t find anything on true gun value as to what they’re going for you got yours for a steal
very nice pawn shop find.
Very nice!! I Just bought an H&R 999 Sportsman 4” barrel in like new condition. Unfortunately it was no where near $100
🤔 Looks like a single action! At least thats what we call them where Im from. Have one my Dad bought back in about early 80’s
Great video , and you forgot to say NO PLASTIC. Awesome piece for history I own one also a H&R 22 special it was my grandfathers. Thanks for sharing..🙂
Have 3 of them 929, 932, 922, strong piece real steel
Thats a $250 dollar gun
I love your show your the best
I have bought several handguns at my local pawn shop , you can really find some gems. That H/R looks like a great one, just because a gun has some wear or Bluing is faded doesn’t mean the gun isn’t worth buying.
That Price! I have an H&R "Sportsman" a 9 shot top break revolver, I bought, used, years ago. It is really well made and accurate. Compare the value of your pistol to the current crap, er crop of "cheap" revolvers.. ie the Heritage Rough Rider or Ruger Wrangler.
I have an H&R M1 Garand…
That revolver is what I’m into.
Diamondback Sidekick is fun.
funny how the notification for this video just came for me, 3 days later.
I bought a 7 1/2 in barrel H&R 949 from a friend in 1980, pawned it in 1984 being short monetary funds for a celebratory weekend with my then fiancé. Found another one in 1988. From 1995 till last month it was my Pops last ditch go to PDW when he transitioned to a assisted living facility, which doesn’t allow firearms.
Shot last week; she still holds POA/POI at 20 yards. Good to have it back…
Nice 22 H&R!
I just looked at these on Gunbroker. Cheapest one was $299.69.
I’m sure you have your own methods already, but for rust spots like that what I do is take a scotch-brite pad to remove the rust, and follow it up with a quick cold bluing. Worked like a charm for me.
Exactly wt I sed when you had the misfire,Winchester Ammo lol, Remington ammo not much better!!! I try to purchase federal!!! Or CCI
Wow. That was a good deal! Congrats.
Just in case … check out your 949’s main spring … I was getting a lot of light strikes with my 949 and discovered it has nylon head main spring that broke in two (common issue easily fixed). I have ordered an all steel main spring. A couple of you tubers have videos on H&R 949 main spring replacement.
Winchester Ammo I know my HP22 don’t like em much
Sweet find Mixup.
Now that is a deal, good buy.
My stepdad handed down an old H&R 9 shot that he bought from Sears in 1940. Still works perfectly. Has a little rust, but nothing 82 years old doesn’t have a little.
Just picked up one of these myself from the Bargain Bin. So dumb question – how long does foam last in the desert sun without rain to wash it away?
I recently scored a1990s H&R single shot 12 gauge, case hardened receiver, New In Box, Un-fired shotgun for $125 at a pawn shop because my kids saw a Dairy Queen and we had to pull over. Thanks, girls!!
Awesome H &R.👍
Great find! I love all H&R’s.
Another good find, thanks for sharing.
I got a H.R but with a 12 in barrel. fun on cans
I picked up a 949 "The Fourty-niner" several years ago. Fantastic little.22!
I bought a model 949 when I was 18years old in 1966. It was brand new on sale for 30 bucks. There was no paper work, no ID shown, I gave the man my money and he gave me the revolver, no questions asked. We were not shooting each other in the streets in those days. Apparently, guns were not the problem. I found my model 949 after watching your video, it hasn’t seen daylight in years but I carried it everywhere and had a ton of fun with it as a young man, now I will ressurect it but I doubt I will be as good with it as you are with yours. Thank you for that very entertaining video. Felix Korczak
What a great find, Mixup! That revolver will serve you well for decades to come. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially knowing that you practically stole this gem, with that super cool old holster!
got a really nice 999 H&R Sportsman 22 LR. has the fluted barrel, 9 shot top break. They still make speed loaders for it.
They’re great till they go out of time, and they will, especially the 9 shots.
Nice, I always look for one in the DA 9 shot variety but can never get er done! Winchester ammo used to be something
you wanted to run in yer guns. Not anymore, it’s the like the crap is made in a third world country………..
I was looking at that one too, why I didn’t get it I don’t know.
Makes me sick I cant have any of the fun. Wish I had legit pawn shops like you have.
I paid $50 for a 4" M929 in 1988, you got a great deal for a good gun.
I picked up a high standard double nine that wouldn’t shoot well. Traded it off for a six shot version h&r. Love the beat up h&r. Shoots great, and is all steel unlike the double nine and most economy 22 revolvers made today. Also didn’t know the h&r was double action until I got it home. Lol… Fun revolver
That does remind me somewhat of the Ruger Wrangler. I like the Ruger wrangler with the birdshead grip. You got a great deal for a double action revolver for under $100.
Wow that was the deal of the year
Whenever I need a break from a dreary, rainy, Deep South day. I dial up Mixup and enjoy some Desert beauty with good Ole’ everyman firearms fun.
Yessir, that’s a great find…better yet with the holster! I watched this video the other week, but didn’t leave a comment. (was on a short break at work)
***just had an incident tonight that pushed me to go ahead and get my CCW as I’ve been intending…but still haven’t.
I have the same gun, inherited from my father. It might be a little older than the one reviewed, the firing pin is on the hammer.
