Most folks think these things may have existed, but, none were ever available for civilian use.
Question, have you ever seen one?

I saw one when I was in the service. I was with the 503rd MP Co in Friedberg, FRG. One of our guys was issued one. 1980 time-frame. At the time, it stood out because the lower receiver was a purple-ish color for whatever reason. Perhaps it had been rebuilt. Mike
There are pictures on AR15.com.

Harrington and Richardson also made at least 246,000 M16A1 rifles during Vietnam.
H&R's one known contract started November 1968 and ended April 1970.

Sweeet!
I was issued one while stationed at Ft. Devens, MA back in 1983.
Our local NG unit had many H&Rs A1s. Probably more H&R than Colt. Truman
I saw one while stationed at KMCAS, BLT 2/3. 1980 time frame. most of what we had were GM Hydra-matic and Colt XM16E1's
I was issued an H&R at Ft. Knox in the summer of 1972. I remember it being a bit rougher looking than the Colts we had in the company.
