hello
this is my first post
i found this site after a google search and was very much helped by one of your members
owen meany in his 2008 post:
"Field Stripping the H&R .25 Self-Loading pistol"
i have a harrington and richardson 25 auto with a two inch barrel
it was a challenge field stripping, i'll tell you what
i don't know how long it would have taken me without that post
but i was able to get the slide and barrel off and cleaned and oiled them well
but the slide is still very difficult to draw back
most so after it has been dry fired
it takes a great deal of force to draw the slide back over the hammer
but even when the slide finally depresses the hammer, it is still difficult to work the slide
there are two recoil springs on either side of the firing pin
and it feels as though they are part of the problem
if not all of it, they're so tight
this gun is going to be a gift to an older woman
i wonder if it will be too much for her
this gun sat for a long time
does it just need to be shot . . . a lot . . . or what
thank you all for your time and attention
