The H&R Pardner SB1 is a lightweight, American-made single-shot shotgun built during Harrington & Richardson’s final production run in Ilion, New York. Marked with the “CAC” serial prefix, this example represents the 2008–2015 generation that closed out more than a century of H&R break-action history.

What’s Included
- Harrington & Richardson Pardner SB1 single-shot shotgun (12 Gauge)
Introduced as part of H&R’s long-running Pardner line, the SB1 action is purpose-built for 12 gauge shotshells. The carbon-steel barrel measures 27.5" and carries a fixed modified choke, offering a balance of pattern density and pellet count suited to field work or informal clays.
This model features a robust break-action design with an external hammer—simple, intuitive, and quick to load or unload. The 3" chamber accepts a broad range of 2 ¾" and 3" 12 gauge ammunition, increasing load flexibility without adding mechanical complexity.
A satin-finished hardwood straight-grip stock pairs with a slim splinter fore-end, keeping overall weight to roughly 5.5 lb. The 14.25" length of pull accommodates most adult shooters while maintaining a trim, quick-handling profile.
Built on the SB1 shotgun frame, this action is not rated for high-pressure rifle barrels, underscoring its specialization for traditional shotgun workloads. For buyers seeking an uncomplicated, U.S.-made single-shot with proven lineage back to H&R’s 1893 designs, this Ilion-produced Pardner delivers.
