Very interesting.
I cleaned up a friends H&R 999 - he left it in a wet holster in his truck!!! When I test fired it I discovered the hammer spring was missing the washer so it missfired a lot. Fixed it. Turned out to be more accurate than my K22 or my Single Six with 22 mag ammo.
Come to think of it, he hasn't test fired it since I returned it to him over a year ago!!!
'Spose that spring is gonna get weak again, just sittin' there?
Not fired it since you got it back to him?? Even after the fix? I'd say it's time to make him an offer. They are nice guns, or at least I like mine.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
I have owned a few .22 LR pistols over the years. I have thinned the herd of them down to 3 that are very accurate. An old Ruger XR3 Red frame 6 1/2" Single Six, a S&W Model 17 with 6" barrel and finally a Browning Buckmark Target model. I got the first 2 second handed for 1 reason or another.Robert
The older K-22's are outstanding. Sure wish I'd kept mine.
Got one as well....congrats....hope you enjoy it as much as I do.....
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
