The SB2 rifle-rated frame designation on the barrel identifies this as the stronger, rifle-intended configuration of the Handi-Rifle line. The receiver is clearly marked with its Gardner, MA origin and the related U.S. patent, adding useful manufacturing and design context.
Operation is straightforward with a break-action design, external hammer, and a transfer-bar firing mechanism for added safety. The tang/top release lever sits just behind the hammer for intuitive loading and unloading.
The 22-inch round sporter-contour barrel is blued steel and chambered in .308 Winchester. This example has no iron sights and comes with a scope mount already installed.
The stained hardwood stock has a pistol-grip profile with a smooth, uncheckered finish and a ventilated recoil pad. A front sling swivel stud is fitted, and the length of pull measures 14.25 inches.
