Antique Revolver ID.

[Fastfords90]

Hey,

My brother in law got this revolver over 20 years ago when his father passed away. It's been broken as long as he's had it, removing the grips revealed a broken hammer spring.

Anyway, can I get some help on what it is, I did some googling and it seems its from the early 1900s, and not worth much, but its got some meaning to him.

With some cleaning and a new hammer spring, Id say its still operable, anyone know where I could find one?

Just like it says, it is an H&R Victor.
A basic non-nonsense .22 revolver. The pin in the middle of the cylinder both locks it in place and when pulled out, acts as the ejector.


Clean it up and shoot it.

I'm no 'smith, and don't know where you will find the spring, but I would start with Brownells and Numrich.

I believe this is the right schematic. Parts in schematic are listed below.

I have ordered from Numerich before and had no issues.

DKF beat me to it by a minute. Follow his link or mine. Numrich is a highly regarded company for replacement parts.


You have more than one spring in the works there, depending on which one it is you may find it here:

My guess is that it's probably the Main Spring (#16) and you're SOL at the moment from this supplier. If it happens to be one of the other springs you may be in luck, they have a few of them in stock and they're pretty reasonably priced. Click the link to view the parts & price list.

There are other parts suppliers but I don't have them bookmarked and handy like Numrich, (They're my go-to when I need a part).
Look at the schematic, determine which spring it is and if Numrich doesn't have it I'm sure someone will be able to point you to someone who might.

If Numerich does not have it the place below may have it. Could give them a call.

Yep, it's number 16, the main spring. Everything else seems solid on it though. Any idea on the year?

Some info here, posted about 5? years ago by someone who sounds fairly knowledgeable and even he doesn't seem too sure of the manufacture dates:

make sure you see check if that gun is safe for smokeless powder before you shoot it.

If you take the revolver to a decent smith he should be able to make you a spring in short order. Flat springs are not that hard to make.
