    The Model 6 was also called the Heavy Breech Single Barrell Hammer shotgun. Made, I believe, from 1908 till discontinued in 1942. Barrell lengths were 28" to 36". Current asking prices at gun shows for those in good+ condition around $100.

    John has a great memory. Checked the Blue Book which agrees with everyting he says except price, and they give it a lower value. Most of the H&R models are valued as shooters not for collections, but he is likely closer to real value than the book.

    HeDog, I can't even remember where I parked my truck at Wal-Mart! But I do have a few pretty good ref books, and over the years got to know where to look. Old Rifleman mags are good sources too.

    It is interesting that the patent date is 1900 and it appears production did not begin until 1908. I don't know enough about H & R shotguns to know what that means. Perhaps they bought the patent.
