Harrington and Richardson is a historic American firearms manufacturer with roots dating to 1871, when Gilbert H. Harrington and William A. Richardson established the company in Worcester, Massachusetts to produce reliable, affordable handguns, rifles, and shotguns for civilian and military use. Over more than a century, H&R became known for innovative designs such as the top-break revolver—patented by Harrington—and for significant military contracts, including production of the M14 rifle for the U.S. Army and flare guns during World War I. The original company operated until 1986, after which the H&R 1871 brand continued production using classic designs, offering a range of firearms from entry-level to presentation-grade models. Today, Harrington and Richardson products remain sought after for their durability and straightforward functionality.
