A friend has a 20 gauge H & R Pardner that he says quit on him while hunting doves. I attempted to fire it and it looks like the strike was on the outer rim of the shell rather than the primer, leading me to believe whatever holds the hammer in alignment, such as a pin, broke and the hammer slipped out of position. Either tha or the firing pin itself broke? Not sure why it would leave an indent at all in that case, or why it would be so far off the mark.

How hard of a fix is this, and should I give him 40 bucks for the gun and still be able to find the part and have it fixed?
