What’s Included
- Harrington & Richardson Model 722 Trapper revolver
This Model 722 carries H&R’s seven-shot cylinder, giving it one extra round over most rimfire revolvers of its era. The pull-pin system allows the cylinder to be removed quickly for cleaning or inspection.
The 6-inch carbon-steel octagon barrel offers a traditional profile that balances the revolver while providing a long sight radius. Fixed sights consist of a dovetailed half-moon front blade paired with a square-notch rear.
The frame, cylinder, and barrel wear an original blued finish, complemented by checkered walnut saw-handle grips that give the Trapper its recognizable silhouette.
Built with a small solid frame and an external hammer, the revolver operates in both double- and single-action modes, making it suitable for deliberate single-action precision or faster double-action shooting.
