Harrington & Richardson 20 Gauge Shotgun "Project"
Harrington & Richardson 20 Gauge Shotgun "Project"
A quick video on an H&R single shot 20 gauge shotgun I purchased recently. I have been looking for one similar to this one for a good price to be used in a future project. Brings back fond childhood memories of getting one identical to this at Christmas as a 10 year old child
great video my friend and that is a fine shotgun for sure
That is awesome that you found the same fire arm that you owned!!
Does it react the same way as your first one?
Bet you cleaned ‘er up all good and had it shooting like a champ the day before the first day of shooting it!!
Have a good one,
And thanks 4 sharing your Experience!!
That was my first shotgun when I was a kid. I love the case hardening color on the receiver of my old gun. I need to find a good used one for my son (and me) good find
This model was my first real gun and I still have it.Quail,dove,one deer and many squirrels and cottonmouths.
I have an identical gun but mine is a NEF Pardner model. It’s a great gun. Very well made and a lot of fun.
I have one of the first ones like this, I don’t know how old it is but my grandpa bought it used when I was around 6 and I’m 57 now, he died and left it to me in 85. Mine is the older model it don’t have a screw in the forearm.
It was the first one I ever owned as well. I love it also. Mine is the black wood with silverish trigger/hammer area.
A family member across country had mine for about 30+ years and I always remembered it, but I just got it back last year, and it was literally frozen shut. I oiled it down and got the action to break open. Just trying to figure out when I originally had it, as I know it was early or mid 80’s…..but it brings back memories. The main memoriy is vivid. It was lthe actual first shot I ever took with it! I took down a male Mallard on the Colorado River. I can almost count how many blades of milk weed I pushed the barrel through. They seemed 6ft tall, but were likely only three or four feet….lol. Very vivid.
I found one of these in my basement
quero uma dessa.
I’m thinking about taking my old h&k 20 gauge, paying the $200 tax stamp and turning it into an sbs
Single shoot 20 guage kicks hard I dove hunt with this gun.
Vc vende amigo
My first gun! Brings back good memories.
I’ve got the 12g Pardner ($130 bucks new) and it’s one of my absolute favorite guns. A simple bead sight and an superb trigger, not to mention a very affordable platform, and I’m a happy camper.
Beauty stock.
A close friend just sold me one of these little suckers today, and I absolutely love it. Best $90 I’ve ever spent.
H&R/new england are good ol guns.
Oh the memories 🙂
Lucky me i found a 12g Montgomery Ward one shotgun Very long barrel study it and the history of it! Wonderful to fire up for the fourth of july!
Where can I get ammo for my Topper M48 16ga. I have been browsing with no luck. Thanks
Foi voce quem fez amigo?
Great Video
does walmart still sell these?
Only to talk to paw paw again. Memories o how they linger. Great video thanks. 😢😭😢
my big brother has this gun and I shot it I love this gun
Melhor calibre, calibre 20
Yep I got one which was my very first gun back in Christmas of 78 and it was made in 77 and I was 13 but the real ironic and sentimental value of having my H&R Topper Model 58 in 12ga. modified choke is that it was the model number 58 which was the year my mom & papa were married 1958 Sept. 12th so yeah I will never part with that shotgun and I’ve bought Short Lane gun adapters to shoot various other calibers out of that one gun and it’s the most versatile gun I own !!!!
just got one and i love it
i got a real nice topper in 12g was going to modify could not bring myself to working on it as it was so nice so went and got a beat up nef 20 and made a truck gun out of her
is the 12 gauge version hard to find for a single shot?
my 13th birthday I got a 20 gauge topper model I had that gun for years and years and living in Arizona at the time it took care of a lot of rabbits and quail and dove and squirrels when I moved to oklahoma I loved that gun wish I woulda hung on to it for my boys 20 gauge is the ultimate rabbit killer theres very little a 20 gauge cant do
this was my first gun while kids were I live were getting 22lrs I got a 20 gauge
Are the new ones any good?
Such a fun little shotgun. …MUST get me one 🙂
mine was my Grandpas, never really looked at it until now. mine has a DAMASCUS receiver
I need to make me get one of those to Colombia.
Why don’t these single shots have screw in chokes???
whats the difference between a pardner and a topper?
Remington needs to seriously consider resuming production of these H&R shotguns. There’s talk that production will resume in Alabama sometime in the future, but now it looks doubtful. But it doesn’t make sense to kick H&R to the curb, there’s a big demand for single shot shotguns for people that want to train their kids to shoot on a budget, or first time gun owners. And choices for single shots are dying off……Rossi single shots no longer being imported…….an embargo on Baikal products…….and Turkish shotguns are so crazy in design. These H&Rs are rock solid and simple, inexpensive, and American made.
I cut the barrel down on my 12 gauge and painted the stocks camo and put a survival kit in the stock.
Out of all the guns I had thrugh the years I grab my single shot shotgun when I in the woods. Got mine for Xmas in 1977. And never had a Xmas sence then that I was so happy to get a presant. I wouldn’t trade that old gun for anything. I got my son one for his 10th Xmas and just the look on his face was priceless. I’m sure my dad was the same way. 🇺🇸😀👍👍
Mrs. Crabblike has shown interest in shooting clays, which neither of us do at the moment. She has only recently moved up from the .22lr to the Mini-14 and seems to not be afraid of that, except the noise still makes her flinch, but is getting better.
How much difference in recoil is there between a 12ga and the 20? I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge but there’s NO way I’m letting her shoot that. I can’t find a 20ga to try without buying one.
did you put a scope on that gun?
I have the same gun and ironically got it for the same price
I’m thinking about taking my old h&k 20 gauge, paying the $200 tax stamp and turning it into an sbs
that was my first gun. still have it and couldn’t tell you how many squirrels it has under its belt haha great gun
My dad has the exact same gun and I use it when we go hunting. it was his first gun
Hello greetings … you would be so kind to tell me how much you cost your shot harrington – richardson
I don’t know what you planned to do to it but it looks great as is. $60 is a steal. You did good.
