Plus...gun oil and cold weather don't mix sometimes. If you need a lube in cold weather use graphite.

i will give it a try but i'm sick to my guts about this miss fire......I will use the TC Pro the rest of the year. Off season gonna sell the H&R can't trust it anymore. Do you know anyone in Maryland looking for one? $200 no scope.

Also go to www.greybeardoutdoors.com they have a forum for H&R, that is how I figured out what was wrong with mine. I realize your frustration but guns are machines and will sometimes fail, I would repair it and give it a second chance. And if you send it in for repair, just send the reciever, that is what I did, lots easier and cheaper to ship.
