Greenleaf New England Pardner

Came across this the other day. I have seen them in bottomland before but had never seen one in greenleaf so I had to add it to the collection. Anyone else have one in this pattern?

[Izzyjoe]

Never seen one like that before, I assume it's a slug gun.

[mbowyer51]

It actually has a fixed full barrel on it

I have on, but it is the factory dipped original Bottomland.  That fore end stock looks like an aftermarket with the swivel stud out front, so I'm thinking that must be an aftermarket dip job.  Cool looking little gun, congrats on the find!

I've never seen an H&R or NEF in factory camo, did they exist?

Yes, they were the NWTF gun of the year about 20-25 years ago.  Factory dipped in original Bottomland.  Came in both 12 gauge chambered for 3.5" and 10 gauge.

  I need that

I had one several years ago, 12ga 3.5" fixed full choke in mossy oak green leaf just like this one, it was a factory dip job

Got the same gun less the rifle sights and scope.  12 gauge fixed full 3".  Light as a feather.  Barrel is at SumToy getting threaded for screw-in choke now.  Shot it the past two years as is.  Love it.

Love the looks and weight of those guns. Until they're fired that is. Then I'd rather just slam my head in a car door. It'll be less painful. Maybe I'm a pansy but those things kick worse than my 835, and that's saying a lot.

I was thinking about having that done too. What thread pattern is he putting in it for you?

Why I only shoot 3" through mine.  The recoil from the 3.5" was insane.

Me wantin' a single shot, let my search begin.........waiting to see the new single from Henry, the walnut stock looks real nice.

[YELPA]

I shoot 2 3/4" shells to compensate for the recoil.  I've asked William to thread it to Win choke.

Never enjoyed the 3" shells in those to be honest. Heck, I don't really even like the 2-3/4" 20 ga either. I'm not a fan of recoil though. If I felt it while shooting at game animals, I'd use a pellet gun for everything.
