    Rem

    It looks like a Franchi model 48 with it's aluminium receiver. ;)

    Can't help much but it is a tangled web. :D
    H&R is now under the NEF & Remington banner's which is http://www.freedom-group.com/

    "Operation is by way of a gas system popular with the Turks whether the gun is an H&R Excell from Sarsilmaz, an EAA Bunda by Seritsan, or a Charles Daly Superior from Akkar. All of those makers use some variation of the same system theme that bleeds gas through two ports at the barrel's mid-point, which then impinges on a piston. The piston moves rearward, and transfers its momentum to the action bar support to which the single, dual-arm action bar is attached. Movement of the action bar tips a large, single locking block into or out of a corresponding cutout in the barrel extension to lock or unlock the gun. The innovative distinction on the Excell's variation is a reversible piston that lets the user adjust the gas system to optimize reliability for firing light or heavy loads."
