Gun Porn: New England Firearms Handi Rifle SB2

Click any picture to see it full sized.

Those who are into this sort of thing will like this one: A genuine small-to-medium game caliber (.270 Winchester) single-shot break action rfile, with a padded sling and a variable power scope.

Surprisingly for such a compact piece, it is over 8-1/2lbs. I guess that's why the sling is padded. This one is obviously a fielded piece. There is "normal" wear from use, and it was not kept heavily oiled. The wood is worn, and the metal is both worn and freckled - a little.

The working and business ends have minor wear, but I'd shoot it without hesitation. The bore is good. The scope is half a step above generic, but it does the job and the glass is in good condition.

It's a NEF, but you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a Harrington & Richardson ;)
