New England Firearms Handi-Rifle SB2 Single Shot Rifle .22 Hornet with 22 Inch Barrel
Description
This New England Firearms Handi-Rifle SB2 is a single-shot break-action rifle chambered in the desirable .22 Hornet cartridge. The firearm features a 22-inch blued barrel equipped with a ramped front sight and a flip-up rear aperture sight. The barrel is also factory drilled and tapped for an optic mount. The blued receiver is mated to a black textured synthetic stock and forend, which includes integrated sling swivel studs and a ventilated rubber recoil pad embossed with the NEF logo. The receiver is clearly stamped on the left side with NEW ENGLAND FIREARMS, MANUFACTURED IN GARDNER, MA U.S.A., U.S. PAT. NO. 3988848, and the serial number NS255750. The barrel is marked HANDI RIFLE SB2 and CAL. 22 HORNET followed by a circled P proof mark. This rifle is accompanied by its original factory cardboard box bearing both Harrington & Richardson and New England Firearms logos, along with the owner’s manual, safety notice, and a yellow trigger lock. The factory label on the box confirms the configuration as model SB2-S24 with a synthetic stock. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The rifle appears to be in like-new condition, showing minimal signs of handling or use. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains strong and consistent, with only negligible surface marks. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The synthetic stock and forend are excellent, retaining their original texture without significant scuffs or scratches. The break-action mechanism functions smoothly, and the hammer and trigger appear to operate correctly. The original factory box shows some shelf wear, minor creasing, and surface staining, but remains structurally sound with a legible factory label.
