     In the mid-nineteenth century, Frank Wesson designed and began manufacturing a line of verypopular top break (or "hinged breech, as he called them) rifles. They usually featured two triggersin seperate trigger housings. The front trigger released the action for loading/unloading, much thesame as the old three triggered Stevens shotguns. Early variations saw service during the Civil Waras secondary arms. As the population spread west, so did the Wesson rifles. 

     In 1871 his nephew, Gilbert Harrington who invented a top-breaking, shell-ejecting revolver,joined Frank, and the company was renamed Wesson and Harrington. Not only did they continue thetop break Wesson rifles, but branched out into the revolvers as well. In 1875 Wesson sold out hisinterest to Williuam Richardson. The company then changed its name to Harrington and Richardson,and has been producing firearms ever since.

     Harrington & Richardson‛s reputation for excellence became established so firmly, so quickly,that in 1880 the firm was named sole North American licensee for England‛s Anson & Deely double-barrel hammerless shotgun which was considered to be the finest shotgun available anywhere, atany price.

     H&R‛s success led it to break ground for a state-of-the-art factory in Worcester,Massachusetts, in 1893. Just a few years passed before the factory had to be expanded. It washere that H&R developed a broad line of firearms, including their innovative single-barrel shotgun,which featured automatic shell ejection.
