The H&R is back together and working. Thanks to Sixgun's suggestion I took a Bic lighter apart and was able to make a return spring for the single action sear. Now all the gun needs is a set of grips which I will order this week.

Re: UPDATE .. the old H&R pistol
I save springs from ball point pens and have used them on the firing pins of hammer guns, I also helped a gunsmith get a Marlin ejecting again with the spring from a Swiss Army knife scissors. Glad you got that old revolver working again Jim, show us a picture when you fit it with grips.....
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Re: UPDATE .. the old H&R pistol
Man! That baby would take center stage at the Timonium show this month!…….You’d have a line of 50 hood rats waiting to get their hands on it…..
That is a neat accomplishment though……taking a nothing gun and making it work. It would make an excellent “yard gun” when running the tractor, fixing fence posts, etc.
Ya done good Jim…..
Just a suggestion…..in case you get bored…….take it apart and sand blast it with a mild abrasive, very mild, not sand……
Then rust blue it and get some sort of grips on it……that tape looks like an inner city gunsmith job.——-006

Thanks Sixgun. I have a set of original grips ordered. I will get them on post haste once I have them.

Re: UPDATE .. the old H&R pistol
What a metamorphosis! Wish I had some .38b S&W brass to send, but it has been more than 30 years since I had a Smith "Victory" model in that chambering. In fact my first wife may still have it.
