Correct on the extractor
One of the known issues with break-open guns that use an underlug locking system is the ability for recoil to unlock the action if the parts are worn or not fitted properly. This happens to all guns that use this kind of design - fine O/U shotguns and H&R HandiRifle alike. It is not acceptable for that to happen, and if it happens the gun should be refurbished to fix the problem. OIl can exacerbate the issue and the lugs *should* be kept oil free, but this behavior is likely symptomatic of a mechanical fitment issue that should be fixed under warranty.Regardless he went to sight it in for her, and noticed that when shooting it, after each shot the action would pop open and it would shoot the shell out right by your head. This is dangerous, as the shell can hit you in the face very easily. He asked me to look online about it since he doesn't have a computer. When I did, I found this is a very common issue, and the only known solution is to keep the breech face absolutely clean, and absolutely dry with no oil on it.
Well, then you could go to your local gunshop and have them get you a Stevens 200 for around the same price as the Handi Rifles, and be much better off.slowr1der, For 100 bucks more I couldn't get any rifle at Wal Mart. The ones here don't sell any firearms. The closest thing to firearms that they sell is either a flare gun, or bb guns, and they sell the really bad bb guns at that.
I agree. I've bought one or two on a whim and was not impressed with them.Mine was in 308 and I was not impressed with it. Would not shoot that great and had ejection problems.
