Default Re: H&R Sportsman 22 LR

the most common cause of misfires in H&R revolvers of this era are caused by the hammer spring. remove the grips and check the plastic head on the hammer spring guide rod. if broken new one are available. another area to look at is the firing pin attached to the hammer, if worn a new hammer is the only cure.
