In the mid-nineteenth century, Frank Wesson designed and began manufacturing a line of very
popular top break (or "hinged breech, as he called them) rifles. They usually featured two triggers
in seperate trigger housings. The front trigger released the action for loading/unloading, much the
same as the old three triggered Stevens shotguns. Early variations saw service during the Civil War
as 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 the
top break Wesson rifles, but branched out into the revolvers as well. In 1875 Wesson sold out his
interest to Williuam Richardson. The company then changed its name to Harrington and Richardson,
and has been producing firearms ever since.
Harrington & Richardsons reputation for excellence became established so firmly, so quickly,
that in 1880 the firm was named sole North American licensee for Englands Anson & Deely doublebarrel hammerless shotgun which was considered to be the finest shotgun available anywhere, at
any price.
H&Rs 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 was
here that H&R developed a broad line of firearms, including their innovative single-barrel shotgun,
which featured automatic shell ejection.
