Harrington & Richardson Folding Single Shot Shotgun .410 Gauge with 22 Inch Barrel
Description
This Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. single-shot folding shotgun is chambered in .410 gauge and features a break-open action designed to fold compactly for transport or storage. The shotgun is equipped with a 22-inch barrel featuring a simple brass bead front sight and is marked MADE IN U.S.A. 410 GA. CHOKE on the top of the barrel, although no specific choke graduation is identified. The left side of the receiver is prominently stamped FOLDING above the manufacturer address HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON ARMS CO. / WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A. MADE IN U.S.A. The steel components display a combination of a thinned blued finish on the barrel and a receiver with significant mottling and surface oxidation over its original finish. The smooth wood furniture consists of a rounded forearm and a pistol-grip stock fitted with a checkered hard rubber buttplate bearing the H&R ARMS CO. logo. Technical details include an external hammer and a serial number of F21230, which is visible on the lower tang and stamped on the barrel lug. A notable structural crack is present in the wood at the top of the wrist, extending directly behind the upper tang. Mechanical function has not been independently verified, and we have not function-tested this firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
