I bought a pistol today that I think was unfired and had according to the seller (according to the person he'd bought it from), been sitting in a closet for 20 or 25 years. It misfires about every 3rd round. The misfires usually go on the second turn around. I think that original owner might have bought it, loaded it and left it with the trigger cocked for a long period weakening the hammer spring. Cocking the hammer the spring feels weak. The cylinder also hangs just slightly when opening it about every other time and needs the hammer pulled back just a smidgen to release the cylinder. Does anybody here have any experience with replacing the springs in H&R revolvers? Is it a difficult job? Anything else that this sounds like to you?
It's really a nice little (albeit inexpensive) gun, but I don't really want to put 60 or 80 dollars worth of gunsmithing into a 100 dollar gun. Any ideas?
