The New England Firearms (NEF) Pardner .410 is an iconic, American-made single-shot break-action shotgun. Introduced in the late 1980s, it became a legendary fixture in the firearms market. It is celebrated for its rugged simplicity, affordability, and utility as a tool for teaching young shooters, small-game hunting, and simple pest control. This gun needs some loving care with the stock. A light sanding and oil might just do the trick.
