    For those with a passion for classic firearms, the Harrington & Richardson Model 088 is a single-shot shotgun that has stood the test of time.

Manufactured in 1985, it's a piece of American history, with a moderate amount of pitting and surface rust, as well as multiple scratches and scuffs on the barrel. Despite these signs of wear, the Model 088 remains a reliable and functional firearm, underlining H&R's commitment to durability. With its blend of historical significance, functionality, and traditional design, the H&R Model 088 would make a worthy addition to any firearm collection or serve as a reliable tool for hunting or target practice.
