What’s Included
- Harrington & Richardson Model 999 Sportsman .22 LR revolver
The Model 999 Sportsman uses a double-action/single-action, top-break design with an automatic star extractor. Opening the revolver simultaneously lifts spent cases for quick clearing, and the nine-chamber fluted cylinder provides ample capacity in a compact rimfire package.
Sight regulation is handled by an adjustable square-notch rear sight on the topstrap and a Patridge-style front sight that is screw-secured. The 6-inch barrel offers a long sight radius, pairing well with the adjustable sights for precise aiming.
This revolver is built on a steel frame with a steel barrel and cylinder. The checkered walnut grip panels provide a secure hold and a traditional appearance.
Barrel markings include H.&R. "SPORTSMAN" DOUBLE ACTION on the left side, and Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., Worcester, Mass. U.S.A. and .22 LONG RIFLE CTG. on the right.
These markings clearly identify the model and caliber and reflect its U.S. manufacture.
