What's Included
- NEF Pardner Model SB1 .410 Bore single-shot shotgun
The SB1-designated receiver identifies this as the shotgun/low-pressure frame, paired with a simple top-lever break-action and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur. The receiver shows a traditional color casehardened finish, while the plain, non-ribbed barrel is blued steel.
Chambered for 3 in .410 bore, this Pardner carries a 24 in barrel with a fixed full choke for consistent constriction at the muzzle. It is a true single-shot with a 1-round capacity and straightforward manual operation.
Sighting is classic and uncomplicated: a brass bead front sight with no rear sight. The barrel has a plain round profile without a rib, keeping the sight picture clean and fast.
The hardwood stock and slim fore-end provide a solid, traditional feel. Furniture details include a straight-comb stock, a length of pull of 13.5 in, and a black buttplate embossed with the NEF logo.
Factory markings include a circled 'P' proof and the receiver stamp for U.S. Pat. No. 3,988,848. This shotgun was manufactured in Gardner, Massachusetts, USA, reflecting NEF’s domestic production during the Pardner series run.
