Old h&r revolver.

[Joe the Redneck]

Santa left an old H&R 22 in my stocking. It appears to be a double action only. The cylinder is removable only by taking out the cylinder pin. It also has a little flange behind the trigger. It is part os a hammer blocking safety. Unless it is depressed, the pin will not go foward.

Any info regarding age and value (if any) would be great. I just hope the pirate at the gunstore didn't rob Santa!

Hi, Joe,

Does the gun have an exposed hammer? If so, it should be both double and single action, so it may be broken. I think the piece behind the trigger is the sear which may not be working in full cock but may be blocking the hammer in half cock.

Most H&R revolvers are not high ticket items, usually going (in working order) for less than $100. Still, if given reasonable care, they are pretty rugged and fairly reliable for a plinking type fun gun.
