Harrington & Richardson 12 Ga. Single Barrel
« on: August 13, 2011, 02:56:08 AM »
Hi everyone,
I'm a new member and this is my first post. I have become interested in the old H&R guns (pre-1986) since I recently acquired a Model 1908                RE-ENFORCED BREECH 12 Ga. Single Barrel. The serial # of this piece is A3687
which I am told by 32Magnum was manufactured in 1940. The gun is tight and
complete except that it is missing its' snap-on forend. I disassembled the gun
and the only surprise was a broken trigger spring. Numrich had a replacement
spring for a couple of bucks.
Anybody have any ideas on finding a forend? I have a nice block of walnut and
can easily make the forearm if I could only get the forend harware which would include the forend spacer and the spring-loaded forend catch assy..
I checked with Numrich and they don't have the parts.
Thanks everybody and I am very impressed by all the gun knowledge possesed
by the members of this forum . . . Paul!

Hi Paul, welcome aboard and welcome to the the addiction as well. These fine and fun little guns are addicting for sure. You might try posting a WTB (want to buy) in the H&R classified section. Also I have seen both complete snap on forearms and the metal parts alone listed on E-bay.
If you go to E-bay search for both H "and" R and New England Firearms as well. You might even do a search there for snap on forearm...All the best, and stop by often, when your here your among friends....<><.... :)

MSP Ret,
Thank you for the reply and the very nice welcome. I appreciate your suggestion to check e-bay for the parts I need. I could probably have one of my machinist buddies make them but would prefer to find them if possible. I hope we can stay in touch and I will let you know my progress in reviving this old gun. . . . Paul!

Welcome! Another place you might check is the parts category on gunbroker.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun
