I'd be grateful if you would let me pick your brains about single shot shotguns so I can answer someone's questions.
What are the major differences between a NEF Pardner and an H&R Topper?
I've heard that the perceived recoil on these in 12 gauge is fierce. Is that so? Is it any worse than that of a 12 gauge Remington 870? If so, why and can it be improved with a better recoil pad?
What's the shortest length barrel produced now or in the past for these? Do they approach 18", 18.5", or 20", or are they always longer? The idea here is for it to be a plinker mostly.
Do they hold up, and is there any danger in buying an older one used?
