Project #1 The Shotgun



I was recently gifted a Harrington and Richardson Model 88 not to long ago. It is a single shot 12 gauge holding 3" shells and sports a 28" barrel. It was manufactured with a full fixed choke. From the pictures below you will see what the project is going to be.
The "BA" serial number indicates that the weapon was made in 1983.

















Unfortunately the gun had been sitting around unprotected for some time. The stock shows some wear and tear but nothing that can't be refinished.












The project: Re-blue the shotgun and refurbish the stocks.
Costs up to now: $0


In my next post we will break down the shotgun and get a better idea of what I have(or don't have) to work with.
