An H&R employee posted that Remington destroyed the tooling when they decided to bury the brand It's been some years ago.

Use to have a 12 gauge. Old gun kicked like hell. But I loved it. Hopefully me and my wife can find another at a local pawn shop. And she can get it for my Christmas gift!
That looks just like a H&R Topper Jr. model that my Dad gave me in 20 ga. for my 9th birthday, in 1971. I still have and treasure it to this day. I shot buckets full of squirrels and rabbits with it back in the day. The one you showed is a fine gun. Take care of it!
You are correct H&R was purchased by New England FireArms then sold to Marlin ,then Remington bought Marlin then want bankrupt. Now Ruger firearms owns all of them companies because they have all the rights to them. Ruger is going to bring some of the previous companies models back Marlin but, have not heard anything about H&R products.
Nice looking weapon. I put a really nice leather and suede shotshell sleeve and leather sling on mine. You can also get brass trigger guards and forend pieces for them.
Still got a HARINGTON AND RICHARDSON MODEL 176 IN 10GA, 32" FACTORY FULL CHOKE BARREL, IT'S WAS ALSO PRODUCED IN GARDENER MASSACHUSETTS, THE 10GA VERSION WAS MADE FROM 1975‐1886 IV BROUGHT DOWN SEVERAL CANADA GEESE WITH IT OVER THE YEARS AND A COUPLE OF TURKEYS, MINE WAS MADE IN 1981,VERY WELL MADE SHOTGUNS IT'S A KEEPER FOR SURE! New England firearm came after the HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON COMPANY INC. 🇺🇸👍
I bought one for each of my girls when they was first starting out in 20ga. even with pads on them they kicked the **** out of them. But they are a good little gun.
I got one about 20 years ago had a Gunsmith cut the barrel down to 18.5''. Shot the hell out of that shotgun. wish I didn't sell it. I was in my 20's and you could get them at Walmart for $100 all day for years.
@@sheepdog72 Look on guns International. They are a reputable sight for used guns. I picked up a 1993 used11-87 in good shape, for about $ 600. Don't expect to get one for $ 100- Those days are gone.
Hey bud and friend yes, just make sure it is safe to shoot. If your not sure take it ta reputable gunsmith or sales of guns in your area. Amehumm ! Not Walmart ! Go to a place in your area that sells guns not a pawn shop and ask for ammo or Google it ok .
Mine is a 1975 and I LOVE IT ! I was advised that you can shoot slugs, bird shot and anything out of it or maybe I need to research it but thanks for the vid ; ))
RDM Man you can shoot any type of load/shot. 12ga rifled slugs are made to shoot out of ANY choke (with the exception of extra full or turkey choke). The “fins” on the slug compress as the slug passes thru the choke and will not cause any damage to the gun
Sheepdog Shooting Sports Ok. Thanks for the tip. I always assumed there was a spring capturing it because mine immediately retracts the instant I let the trigger reset. But I’ve never disassembled it. So, now I know.
@@sheepdog72 there is a .44 Magnum barrel insert adapter that you can drop into the barrel of your 12 gauge shotgun. CHIAPA is the company that makes the barrel insert adapter.
Just quicker reload for me with it being a break barrel. It was a new shell holder. I know there's a chance of dropping shells. It was a behind the door, just in case gun. 👍 Good eye!

Bought mine from Wal-Mart in 97.
$99 dollars all day long.
Man you can't beat that.
I can't believe no one picked the H&R/NEF patents to continue these awesone single shots.
Agreed

It's been some years ago.

were not pleasant.
Shame too because they were
an affordable working man's
choice for many years.
Lots of animals and birds were
taken with mine
I used to work there. I did the case hardening of the frame.
That is a beautiful shotgun
Thank you.
I grew up with one of these. I currently have the sb2 in 10ga. I love it.

Thanks! Do you have a link for the brass?
Who's got them..??
We have my grandpas single shot 12 gauge kicks like a mule, on the barrel it says Electric City always wondered who made it. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
I bought the 12 g in like 2000 I love this gun.
It's nice seeing one that hasn't been ruined by making it "tactical".

Awesome!!
got one used a year or two ago, came with a flat gripped stock
I wish they still made these. I have an SB2 10 ga. I'm sure it was Poly Ticks that made them shut down. I miss the America I grew up in.
United States we grew up in
I just bought a used at my local gun shop. paid $125 thought that is good price!
I’ve got one from ‘96 it’s also my HD with #4 buck
Nice gun. Pretty wood. Awesome kid. Good video!
Thanks
My dad got a Marlin model 200 singleshot 12 gauge. Hard to find Marlin shotguns
Yours must be newer than mine because mine has a metal trigger guard it is a New England 12 gauge
Nice.
I have a old Stevens 12.ga.you.don't see them much anymore
True. Getting harder to find a nice one
I bought one for each of my girls when they was first starting out in 20ga. even with pads on them they kicked the **** out of them. But they are a good little gun.
Awesome gun.
Thanks!

Got mine in trade for a pocket knife...lol best trade ever!
Excuse Me For Living Under A Rock But,,,,,Do They Still Make These N.E.F ??
I Had 1 Years Ago In 20 Gauge & Stupidly,,,,,,,,I Sold It For $50
No unfortunately not
It's full chock or modified ckock
3" chamber, modified choke. He mentioned it near the end of the video.
The plastic fore end hinge broke within a week. Left it no good
Thanks for watching.
None of the plastic on my '79
model has ever broken
Mine is a 1975 and I LOVE IT ! I was advised that you can shoot slugs, bird shot and anything out of it or maybe I need to research it but thanks for the vid ; ))
RDM Man
You can shoot all of that. And thank you
RDM Man you can shoot any type of load/shot. 12ga rifled slugs are made to shoot out of ANY choke (with the exception of extra full or turkey choke). The “fins” on the slug compress as the slug passes thru the choke and will not cause any damage to the gun
Why can’t you dry fire it? The firing pin is not coming in contact with anything if the chamber is empty.
That's why. There's nothing to stop the firing pin from bottoming out
Sheepdog Shooting Sports Ok. Thanks for the tip. I always assumed there was a spring capturing it because mine immediately retracts the instant I let the trigger reset. But I’ve never disassembled it. So, now I know.
@@tjhawg no worries glad I could help
You could dry fìre it utilizing a device known as a "Snnap Cap".
A spring loaded primer in a dummy shell !
If you dry fire it the transfer bar will break rendering the gun to a club.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT CHOKE THIS IS.
You are welcome
@@sheepdog72 I want to buy your 12 gauge shotgun. What is the price ?
@@sheepdog72 there is a .44 Magnum barrel insert adapter that you can drop into the barrel of your 12 gauge shotgun. CHIAPA is the company that makes the barrel insert adapter.
@@unitedstatesirie7431 sorry, I no longer have it. Wish I still did.
Turn you're extra shells over
I had then that way for a reason. Thanks though. Gun is long gone
@@sheepdog72 what's the reason? If it's a good one, I'll flip mine over. Just curious, not hate, here
Just quicker reload for me with it being a break barrel. It was a new shell holder. I know there's a chance of dropping shells. It was a behind the door, just in case gun. 👍
Good eye!
That's a good question, WHAT KIND OF WOOD IS IT ? Anybody know ?
Birchwood
Walnut
Who cares? It works for $100.
It's full choke or no
Yes
No. Modified
Sung dep co ban khng ah
Of course
I've noticed you have to shut it pretty hard when you reload
Very nice. Too bad you can't buy them anymore. Closest thing you can get now is a Savage 301 knock off made in CHY-NAH!
Thank you! They have a couple of used ones at a gun shop near me. They pop up now and then, it would be great if they started producing them again.
