H and R relover technically my 12 year old but.. the barrel would twist back and forth just a small amount and its out of time and will send pieces of lead out of the sides of the cylinder gap.
I bought him a single 10 to replace it. It was a gift from his uncle so I have not threw it in the trash.
I had a wore out model 12 I loved untill it fired when closing the action. I was loading it using the driver seat of my truck as a shelf for the box of shells. When I pumped it the barrel was pointing into my floor board. I had a nice hole in that floor board. I sold it to a gun Smith cheap.
Had a kel tech 32. It wad great at the time for small and thin. Functioned great with fmj but hollow points would not feed reliably. Sold that. Probably should have just keep it and shot fmj. It's not like hp would get much penetration in a 32 acp anyway. wasn't that an Heritage Ruff Ryder an HRR not a H&R which is a Harrington and Richardson ?

H&R double action nickel plated revolver.
Cylinder was out of time. Sprayed shavings out the side. Very dangerous. Sent it to H&R who could not improve it and did nothing.
Ithaca 37 Deerslayer. Would only cycle and eject Federal slugs which had the thinnest measured rim of all slugs. Accuracy was so bad that I passed on a close shot at a monster buck. Feared I might only wound it so passed.

Italian carcano.What a clunker
I had one for a short time .Never tried to fire it .And never really wanted to based on how the action worked I have read a little about them And from what I gathered even the soldiers that where given them to carry preferred almost anything else .I have seen some for sale in the $150 to 200 dollar range So that makes them not totally worthless

But Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK with one while Kennedy was barreling down the road; head shot too. Yea, right. I'm not an expert on Carcanos,but my experience with this one I find it impossible that anyone could connect on a moving target consistently with one.Theres a reason why of all axis firearms brought back by G.I's the Carcano was the least desirable.All the deer camps I've been in and all the military rifles I've saw hunters use I can honestly say I never saw one.My only memory of one was a guy looking for rounds for his before deer season here in Michigan at the old Jays Sporting Goods in Clare.

I had forgotten / blocked the carcano's memory paid 50 bucks for it sporterized in the 90s at a gun show then went to buy ammo for it and spent 40 dollars on 40 rounds should have just bought a 89 dollar SKS would have been way ahead sold it for 75 with what was left of the ammo to the next guy who wanted to try it

A POS Savage O/U .22/20 ga. shotgun barrel was ok, but the rifle barrel on top shot 4-5 inches low @ 20 yds, and only got worse at longer ranges.

Diamondback 9mm pistol. Stovepiped almost every shot. I tried to trade it at the pawn shop and they didn't even want it.
