• Q: I'm looking forward to getting this firearm shipped to me in Rhode Island. I have family in California. Will I be able to travel with this? Also, I'm aware I will need a shotgun case in order to fly with this. Do I give it to the airline separately or have it put in my checked luggage? And is there an extra charge?
  Thanks in advance! God Bless all of you in Jesus' name!

• Q: First gun purchase, I would like to know if a choke can be added to this gun?

  • Answered
  • Asked 06/06/2018 11:10 by Chuck K

  A:

  Chuck, I own one of these that I purchases a about 3 years ago. The barrel is not threaded and therefore cannot accept a screw in choke. The barrel tip is choked sized a Cylinder sized choke to accommodate shot gun slugs and buckshot. Of course you can shoot "bird-type" loads with this shotgun but the shot pattern very quickly spreads out dramatically. Interestingly, mine came with a choke wrench in the box but don 't known why. Also note that this is a relatively heavy shotgun. Not a big deal as it helps to reduce recoil and good in home defense situations, but one may not want to tote this heavyweight shotgun around all day hunting field game. If you are looking for a multi-purpose shotgun I would recommend you look at Mossberg, Savage, Winchester, etc., brands. For home defense only, the HR Pardner is more than adequate. Also note that at one time HR was a premier gun manufacturer. They are now owned by an investment group and their guns are manufactured and imported from the far east. While they are strong and reliable, the fit and finish is not on par with many other brands. If you are on a limited budget and only want this gun for home defense, go for it.
