A friend brought me this H&R 922 with a 6" barrel to see if it shoots as badly for me as it does for him and yes, it does. I shot a 5" group at 10 yards and the center of the group was 2-3 inches above my aim point.
The single-action trigger pull is over 6 pounds. That can be fixed but it looks like somebody tried to improve on the rear sight with a disc grinder.
Except for the scratches running off to the side a couple inches in front of the sight, it could be a really poor job of cutting the sight at the factory. It shoots pretty high. Perhaps what he has is the result of a crude attempt to lower the rear sight.
I can't find a good picture of an H&R 922 rear sight. Anybody got one? Not that it's going to change anything, but I'd like to see what it started with.
And does anybody know how to get the brass disc front sight out? A taller sight would take care of shooting too high and make the rear sight tolerable.
My advice was to sell it. What's it worth? Except for the sight it looks pretty good - better than the pictures - and has a very authentic-looking but well-worn leather holster. The serial number indicates it's from about 1930.
