I received an H&R Sportsman pistol [9 shot 22LR top break 6" barrel] last night from a friend who had it handed down to him third generation in his family. The problem is it wont shoot. Upon inspection, the rotating gear on the ejector is worn "nicely", the cam on the hand that rotates the cylinder is worn badly, and the firing pin on the hammer looks like its either broken off or badly worn. It locks up tight, the cylinder rotates smooth and the cylinder attempts to turn and lock when cocked.
Revolvers are new to me, but I have read quite a bit on their repair. I will be reading again. In the mean time, I checked Numrich for parts, none to be found. This model I found in BBGV which said it was circa 1930 - 1959 production period.
Any of you have other ideas for parts sources or such? I am going to tear down and see if I wind up having to make parts. The real concern is the gear on the ejector.
