The Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Lightweight Folding Shotgun is a unique piece of American history, offering collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece of the storied H&R legacy. Established in 1871, H&R is renowned for its durable and reliable firearms, and this model is no exception. Although in poor condition, this shotgun is a true gunsmith's special, with the potential to be restored to its former glory.
This single-shot, break-action shotgun is chambered in 410 Gauge, a versatile caliber perfect for small game hunting or beginner's target practice. The color case hardened finish, a traditional method of hardening the surface of firearms, adds to the robust nature of the shotgun while also providing unique, swirling color patterns. Unfortunately, this model is missing its sight/optic, and the barrel is split at the muzzle. Despite these shortcomings, the shotgun holds a certain charm, with its wood stock, blued barrel features, and the ability to fold in half for easy storage.
With the right care, this H&R Lightweight Folding Shotgun can be a standout piece in any collection or a reliable companion for an afternoon of target shooting. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of American firearms history. Bring out the gunsmith in you and restore this classic back to life!
