Handy gun .410 12mm
An old guy showed me this the firing pin has been taken out
however when i look in blue book I have it only shows it in 410 32-20
which doesnt seem right
the 410 .12mm makes sense
But maybe im reading it wrong because they also show a .22

Your post is kind of confusing? The H & R Handy Gun had a single barrel. That came in 2 flavors. You could get one with either a rifled or smooth bored/shotgun barrel.
410 Gauge, I believe was known as 12 mm, when it was originally sold in Europe. Maybe it's a early production gun, that H & R marked that way. In anticipation of potential European sales?0 -
Regardless whether the firing pin is in or out, the gun has to have been previously registered with BATF. It is an NFA weapon. 0 -

I don't see where you get this from. It in no way meets NFA registration requirements.0 -
Not to be confused with the Handy Rifle, MOST Handy Guns are NFA firearms. It is an AOW or SBR. C&P for you-
The H&R Handy-Gun is a single-shot, breech-loading handgun produced from 1921 to 1934 by Harrington & Richardson. Two principal variants were produced; one with a rifled barrel and one smooth-bore.[1][2]
The rifled-barrel variant was produced from 1930-1934 and it featured a 12?" barrel. It was available in .22 WRF, .32-20 and possibly other centerfire cartridges.[1][3] Some guns were originally factory fitted with a wire stock. Production was halted with the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA34). Rifled versions with a detachable wire stock are a short-barrel rifle under federal law and require registration. Pistols without the stock are exempt.[1]
The smooth-bore version was produced from 1921 to 1934 and sport a 8" or 12?" barrel. The gun was available in .410-bore (most 2?") and 28-gauge.[1] After the passage of NFA34, the smooth-bore Handy-Gun was classed as an "Any Other Weapon".[1][4][5] Production halted after the passage of the act, after approximately 54,000 Handy-Guns had been produced.[1][3]
Whether it has a firing pin or not is immaterial. If it has not been registered, I do not believe that it CAN be registered.0 -
Here is a hint: without the barrels, the frame is not an NFA item.
The frame could then be registered as a SBS, and barrels acquired for it AFTER the stamp is acquired.0
