I apologize for the audio being a little uneven- I recorded it over a couple days, and for whatever reason the audio level is not even.

I found my family member's old rusted NEF Pardner SB1 in 12 gauge. After an hour of sanding and polishing, I brought it back to life. Gorgeous little cheap shottie. A great truck or farm gun. I think they paid $90 for it brand new back in 1995 at Dick's Sporting Goods. lol The actual gun is hardened steel compared to the normal steel barrel. The wood is solid and beautiful Walnut. Every home should have one of these just based on price alone. They do kick but are still great beginner shotguns and super easy to maintain. If you see one online or in a pawn shop for under $150, talk them down 20 bucks and buy it!

I gave one of these in 12 gauge to my son and another to my father in law. I ended up buying another new single shot Stevens 301 12 gauge off gunbroker. I learned to hunt with a single shot. I pretty much only hunt with one even today.

All awsome single shots they are worth every penny .it's a poor man's wepon

I love those old H&R singles! My first new gun at age 12 was one of these in 16 gauge. It still shoots great

Very nice collection of single shot shotguns the bluing on the one is great , the color case harding looks very nice. I only have one it was my grandfather's I think it's a new haven 12 gauge. The single shot you have to make it count , it's a great tool to learn with

Their single shot rifles are great as well.

I think the gun lives again in the savage / Stevens 301. With the safety update. Which some of us will never understand. Thanks for the video I also have a collection of the H&R. / New England. Shotguns.

Thanks for showing. My first shotgun was an H&R 410 and it was bought for me around 79 or 80. Think it came from Montgomery ward? I traded it off around 90 for an old 7.65 Argentina Mauser that used to be my dad’s. I’ve been looking for a replacement but haven’t found a decent one yet or when I get a lead on it it’s gone. I’ve had a 10 gauge short short barrel choked when they first came out with them for turkey hunting, A 243, and a rifle slug 12 gauge that I just got rid of. I bought a heavy barrel 223 back around 94 or 95’. That thing with the heavy trigger shot one hole groups at 100 yards. I just wanted to start getting into coyotes at the time. Sold it to a buddy and bought several other rifles, of course through the years and traded off as well. I just bought my little 223 back two years ago! I took it out with some random 60 grain Vmax hand loads for my other rifles and it shot one whole group sent 100 yards in an inch and a quarter five shot group at 200 yards!… Even with the crappy heavy trigger. The original 4x Tasco German haired scope crosshairs fell apart while shooting so I threw a sportsman 6 x 24 power on it. I can see where I hit it 200 yards with it. It’s ridiculous and clear for a cheap scope. I wanted to stick with Tasco because that’s the budget. I had back in the day and to keep it nostalgic.

They are cool hope you get one in every gauge

I bought the H&R 20 gauge like the one shown in 1969 for $35 at the local Wal Mart. I still have the gun in excellent condition. It was always an accurate, easy to shoot shotgun.

You can bet that every American has their own story about this shotgun. You can probably find one behind every door in America 🇺🇸 my very 1st real gun was a HnR 20 ga. Got it for Xmas back in the 70s. Best Xmas I ever had and I'm 54. I don't have that gun anymore but I still own one. Dropped everything from a squril to a 140 lbs buck.

Just picked up 2 H&R’s single shot 20 gauge for less than $200 bucks a piece. They’re in excellent shape! Can’t wait to shoot them!

Bought a 20 ga when I was 9 years old. Worked all summer mowing yards to buy it, new!! Did a lot of bird hunting with mine, in western Kansas, with my dad. Bought a 12 ga new England arms a while back and they kick, with tough pheasant loads!! Had to slip on a recoil pad on that gun!!

I have the H&R Topper Model 158 in the 410 with a 28 inch barrel and Full Choke. It was made around 1970.

I have the sb1 In 20 gauge love it soo much light easy to Cary picked it up used for 90 bucks from local ffl .

I have h and r in 11 defrent calipers great guns

I have a NEF 20ga, cut down to 18.5", Added Rubber Butt Pad, 6 Shot Shell Carrier on the Stock, Trillium Sight. Fire Starting/Fishing Kit in the Stock. Makes a great 'Survival' unit. Breaks down to fit in a small Backpack.

I have the 28ga , it’s a great rabbit gun

PLENTY of beat-up Toppers out there to purchase cheap, and Cut-Down the barrels and Stocks. I would leave to Pristine Ones in Their original condition... 👍

Single shot shotguns are the best.

The flame on the forend on the top one is ridiculous

I bought a 20 gauge likes this in 1984. It has a full choke barrel

Don't cut them down. I got 5 H&R I Got 48 in 16Ga snap on. Rimfir got 3barrles need 22LR 13barrles for 2 recvers love them.

Well, ya know, maybe the reason there was no lead-fouling in the one is because shot rides inside shot cups thru the bore. Lol

The first one of these guns I bought was in 1968 ,,,it cost me 29.95 at a sky city store in hickory NC

Nice guns, I worked at New England Firearms 1990- 1993. I did the Bay State(coloring of the frame).

They also made those in 32 gauge with rifled barrels, I’ve got one.

Yes please leave the top shotgun in its original configuration its in such great shape

Barrels for these guns can still be bought ,,a few years ago I found where and they had many brand new barrels for around 65 dollars each ,,I also bought some other parts from this same company

I have a bit of an addiction with these myself , last count was 16 in various gages and calibers.

Had the stock and fore grip on my NEF H&R 20ga stained with a dark espresso stain it looks amazing I didn’t like the stock look of it. Have a side saddle from field and stream. Great light gun my dad bought me when I was young. Good for small and big game. Good video buddy

As of right now I've got 2 of these guns, I've got a .223 nef handi rifle, with the Shiney receiver, ejector not extractor and bull barrel and man it is in perfect shape, and the other that I have is a h&r pardner 13 gauge that I'm going to use for my 12 gauge to 30-30 adapter with an 18" adapter, I also have my buddies nef 20 gauge in my safe to keep it safe for him so technically I have 3 in my house. Kinda been looking at a 30-06 nef handi rifle but don't know if I'll go get it or not.

I have an old H&R 12 gauge.My Daddy got it used, probably in the 30’s. On the receiver, underneath H&R Arms Co., In bigger, script letters is Bay State. It has a 32 inch, full choke barrel. If anyone has any information and approximate year made I’d appreciate it.

I have one in 12/70 an .22

I bought one in 708 new como stock couldn't hit a basket ball at35 steps
