SINGLE Barrel 10 Bore ‘Sportsman Long Range’ Shotgun from Harrington and Richardson. As the model’s name suggests and the 36” (917mm) barrel attests to, designed for long range shooting. Not that it won’t work perfectly well at ‘normal’ distances. 3 ½” (89mm) Magnum Chamber with the muzzle diam. measuring 18.8mm. As such a ‘tight’ ¾ Choke or ‘lose’ Full. For what difference it ACTUALLY is it makes not one iota of difference! A Plain, none ribbed barrel with a single front brass sighting bead.
Stock pull measures 13 7/8” (353mm) and brings in an overall length of 51 ¼” (1300mm). Scales register a ‘healthy’ 10 Lb 2 ½ oz (4.604 Kg). Handy to help absorb the recoil.
Colour Case Hardened Action still in 100% original / as new condition. The trigger appears equally unmarked and zero sign of any wear so far too. Not particularly surprising as it was originally bought as a ‘just in case’ gun. The just in case opportunity never actually presenting itself. Original H&R logo Black Recoil pad on the Plain, uncheckered Semi Pistol Grip Stock.
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
Sadly Steve has now given up on the UK Gun Trade and left for the US. HOPEFULLY a major producer will adopt and cartridges will eventually travel back this way.
RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
