What’s Included
- NEF Pardner Youth/Compact .410 Bore single-shot shotgun
The Youth/Compact configuration provides a 12.5" length of pull and hardwood stock set for smaller-statured shooters or those who prefer a shorter fit. The 22" smoothbore barrel is paired with a fixed Full choke, supporting tight patterns in a .410 platform, and the chamber is cut for 3" shells. This item includes the requested details: 3" chamber and Full bore (fixed Full choke).
Operation is simple and reliable with a break-action, single-shot layout and a top-tang opening lever positioned directly behind the exposed hammer. A transfer-bar safety is incorporated, and capacity is 1 round. Sighting is straightforward via a single front brass bead with no rear sight, and the barrel has no rib.
The receiver wears a classic case-colored finish, and the barrel is blued. Furniture includes an uncheckered, straight-comb hardwood stock with a ventilated recoil pad and a matching hardwood fore-end. The shotgun carries a circled P proof mark.
Factory markings include the receiver legend "NEW ENGLAND FIREARMS - MANUFACTURED IN GARDNER, MA U.S.A. - U.S. PAT. NO. 3988848" and the barrel marking "PARDNER MODEL - 410 GA.
3" - FULL." These details align with the Pardner series configuration and origin in the United States.
